If you just can't satisfy that need for big, sweeping chamber pop anthems, good news: Denmark's Efterklang are heading out on a North American tour.
Kicking things off in March, the Danes will make the trek from west to east, playing a string of shows down south, as well as ones in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. The band will tour as a seven-piece this time out and apparently will be road-testing a bunch of material from their yet-untitled new album, which is due out sometime in 2010.
In addition to this proper follow-up to 2007's Parades, Efterklang have plans to release a live CD/DVD package this fall. The recording is from a show in the band's hometown of Copenhagen last September, when they performed Parades in full with more than 50 musicians on stage and the Danish National Chamber Orchestra.
As of yet, Efterklang haven't confirmed any dates for either release, but they do have their tour itinerary all worked out, which is:
