'Raincoats' really stood out from the tracklist of Efterklang's most
recent album, Magic Chairs, chiefly because there's a vocal hook in it
that sounds eerily similar to 'Hangin' Tough' by New Kids On The Block.
It's a lovely production however, finding the Danish post-rockers making a
harmonious marriage of elaborate electronic programming and organic -
almost folky - live band performances. The B-side is likely to draw a
crowd all by itself: Peter Broderick and piano maestro Nils Frahm take on
an acoustic cover of 'Harmonics' (another track from Magic Chairs) which
proves that even once all the electronics and extra personnel have
departed, there's still a strong piece of songwriting at the heart of what
this band do.
