January 6th, 2011 | No Comments

As the season of goodwill fades, an old problem returns: religious disputes that draw in secular courts

PULSES rarely race in Shaughnessy, a genteel, old-money district of Vancouver where mature cedars shield mansions with giant drawing-rooms. But the splendid Anglican church there, which draws worshippers from across the city, is the centre of a dispute that arises in many countries: how should judges rule in religious rows? Usually such quarrels involve worldly goods and rival claims to be the true believers. They quickly raise theological issues normally settled in church councils, not the courtroom.

Efterklang Announces March U.S. Tour Dates Including SXSW

Efterklang

Efterklang will be hitting our shores in March for select U.S. Tour Dates following the February 23 4AD release of their newest album Magic Chairs, capping the jaunt with dates during this year’s SXSW.

Removing themselves from their home city and heading to Aarhus’ Feedback Recording Studio, the band recorded basic tracks as a band (drums, bass, guitars and piano), replicating the live set-up from where the songs had initially taken form. Later, back in Copenhagen, orchestral flourishes were added and guest musicians were called upon (including their touring band members – Peter Broderick, Heather W. Broderick, Frederik Teige and Daniel James).

For greater clarity of sound, British engineer and producer Gareth Jones (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Interpol, Mogwai, Grizzly Bear, Wire and more) was drafted in for mixing duties to work alongside their in-house electronics wizard, Mads Brauer.

Tour Dates:

Mar 2 First Unitarian Church w/ Balmorhea Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Mar 3 Le Poisson Rouge w/ Balmorhea New York, New York
Mar 4 TT The Bears w/ Balmorhea Cambridge, Massachusetts
