Barbican
DANISH indie-pop oddities Efterklang appear to be wearing PJs as they take to the stage — and no wonder, their music is about as hygge as it gets.
This year marks the band’s 20th year since the release of first album Tripper and tonight’s performance, their fifth at the Barbican, kick starts the beginning of an international tour for latest release Things We Have In Common.
