February 26th 2014 we will play one last concert in Sønderborg, Denmark, where we grew up.
It will be the last concert with Efterklang as you and we know it. We are not sure what happens after this concert. It is time to reflect and time to move forward. We want to fundamentally change what it means to be Efterklang and how we operate, create and perform.
So come say goodbye with us!
We are celebrating a decade of Efterklang releases and concerts and we are doing it in the most decadent way.
The local symphony Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester, conductor Hans Ek and the local girls choir will join us on stage and so will a long list of special guests including Thomas Husmer and Rune Mølgaard from the original 5 piece line-up of Efterklang.
The last concert will feature highlights from all our 4 albums as well as new songs, that in fact are almost 10 year old songs we’ve never released, but whom we care for very much. This will be the only chance to hear these songs live.
We are not taking this concert on tour and we plan on making this a very special night. An exploration, a rite of passage, a strange celebration. You are hereby invited.

We're saying goodbye to Efterklang in its current form and to the idea of what Efterklang is. But it is not the end efterklang.net/home/?p=2131

Slowdive: Return after almost twenty years

It's obvious that something is going to happen in the next few days,since Slowdive members Simon Scott, Christian Savill, Nick Chaplin and Rachel Goswell started a countdown on Twitter (see below) as mentioned in listadark. The date when the announcement (?) would take place is this 29th January. High expectations among fans who would give their right arm to see them live for the first time ever, with the chance to listen some of the most beautiful songs ever created, including songs that were never officialy released. It seems that after almost twenty years the moment has arrived: Slowdive returns.

Music's biggest night... to be disrespected. A heartfelt FUCK YOU guys.

“Ce soir, je viens de chanter pour la dernière fois sous le nom de Fauve. Ce nom d’artiste n’est plus le mien. Le jeu s’achève, poker menteur.
Le deuil n’est pas facile à faire. Depuis deux ans, je vis avec cette douleur. La découverte, d’abord, au hasard du web, d’une vidéo d’un Fauve qui n’est pas moi. Contact par Facebook, début de discussion. Je tente de leur faire comprendre la situation: depuis 2004, j’ai publié 3 albums de pop anglophone sous ce nom, sur un label indépendant. J’ai donné de nombreux concerts, en Suisse et en France, ai eu les louanges de la presse spécialisée (dont Les Inrocks) et de nombreux musiciens. Bien sûr, mes ventes de disques se comptent en milliers d’exemplaires, pas en millions. Succès trop confidentiel pour inspirer le respect.

Malgré mes demandes répétées, alors qu’il n’existe encore que par deux vidéos, le collectif français ne voit pas la nécessité de changer de nom. Et tandis que son succès va croissant, la confusion que je redoutais s’installe. Des chroniqueurs confondent l’un et l’autre. Dans la rue, des gens m’arrêtent pour me féliciter, croyant reconnaître l’auteur invisible de “Kané” ou de “Nuits fauves”. Je passe sur la souffrance quotidienne de voir grandir le phénomène, l’humiliation de se voir proposer de faire leur première partie, “parce que Fauve et Fauve, ça serait rigolo”.

Au delà de ce que je vis comme une dépossession profonde, je m’interroge. Un nom d’artiste, unique et précieux, est-il aujourd’hui soumis au régime du libéralisme le plus sauvage, à la loi du plus fort? Qui n’a pas les moyens d’engager des démarches juridiques peut-il se faire voler ce nom avec lequel il vit depuis dix ans, ce nom qui devient prénom à force d’être assimilé à soi? Oui, Fauve ≠ a tué Fauve. Ma musique vivra, ailleurs, sous un autre nom. Il y a du sang, sur la pochette de leur album. Ne cherchez pas plus loin”

Portishead will soon begin working on their fourth studio album. Yes, we heard similar news back in 2010 and in 2011, but it looks as though the English trio are intent on finally releasing the follow-up to 2008′s Third.

“We’re clearing our schedules so we can get on with it,” said Adrian Utley during a Quietus Q&A at Oslo’s By:Larm Festival this afternoon. “Otherwise, it will be another 10 years.”

He went on to attribute the album’s delay to the band members’ various other side-projects.

The Whitest Boy Alive, c'est fini!

Deux albums impeccables et un gros paquet de concerts absolument irrésistibles. Voilà ce que la postérité retiendra de The Whitest Boy Alive, projet du génial Erlend Øye. Dans un message publié sur Facebook, le groupe a tenu a confirmé qu’il appartenait désormais à l’histoire ancienne – même si on s’en doutait vu le retour en solitaire du songwriter norvégien ces derniers temps.

Youtube va bloquer les vidéos de certains artistes

Certains artistes comme Adele ou les Arctic Monkeys vont être bloqués par Youtube. Motif: certains labels indépendants ont refusé de signer les conditions tarifaires de son service de diffusion en streaming.

La plateforme va commencer à bloquer ces vidéos «dans les jours qui viennent», a déclaré Robert Kyncl, directeur des opérations commerciales de la filiale de Google, cité par le Financial Times de mercredi.

Robert Kyncl a précisé au journal économique que les labels ayant signé ses nouvelles conditions tarifaires représentaient 95% de l'industrie musicale. Mais selon le FT, certains importants labels indépendants comme XL Recordings et Domino refuseraient de signer.

Death Cab announce the departure of Chris Walla and reveal new album details:
"We’ve had an incredible 17 years of making music with Chris. We are very proud of what we've accomplished together, including our 8th studio album which we have just put the finishing touches on.
We will miss Chris and wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career. We are excited about sharing new music, and seeing all of you very soon." - Ben, Nick and Jason
Chris will be joining the band on the remainder of the summer festival shows through the Rifflandia Festival in Victoria, BC over the weekend of September 11-14. The new, yet-to-be-titled Death Cab album was recorded with producer Rich Costey and is slated for release in early 2015.
"I will miss being a quarter of this band, and will support whatever course Death Cab for Cutie chooses from here. I am profoundly grateful to Ben, Nick, and Jason, for the experiences that define my adult life. Truly grateful, beyond words. Thank you.
I am also grateful to, and deeply humbled by, all of our fans. Without you, music would be mere ‘content’ and nothing could possibly be sadder than that. Thank you all, so dearly.”

Swedish duo The Knife have officially called it a day, it has been confirmed.

Olof and Karin Dreijer today announced their final run of shows for the ‘Shaken Up’ tour, a performance art run of shows off the back of 2013 LP ‘Shaking The Habitual’. These include Manchester Academy and Brixton Academy. Dates were announced under the banner of being the band’s “Last Tour”, and a spokesperson for the band has since confirmed the split to DIY.

The decision is due to the Dreijer’s desire to pursue other projects. In an interview with Dazed today, Karin confirmed: “When we finish the tour now in November we will close down, it’s our last tour. We don’t have any obligations to continue, it should only and always be for fun.”

Franchement, remettre un prix de 100'000 francs à Franz Treichler en 2014, est-ce que cela a encore un sens?
