Efterklang / Parades + Under Giant Trees (Special Edition)

Leaf

The Leaf Label is proud to present special double-CD editions of the first two full-length Efterklang albums, together with their accompanying EPs, in deluxe foldout card packaging with new 16-page booklets. 2004's Tripper album is paired with the five-track Springer mini-album that preceded it in 2003, while watershed second album Parades is joined by the long out-of-print Under Giant Trees mini-album. Both releases include two live recordings of songs from the relevant albums, and, for a limited time, Parades + Under Giant Trees also includes the full-color poster that came with the original Parades CD. Tripper, Springer and Parades have been out of print on CD for most of 2010, the year in which the band released their third album, Magic Chairs, through 4AD. These reissues coincide with the release of their latest single. The band has a full tour schedule, which takes in 20 European festivals in July and August alone, followed by a US tour in the autumn of 2010 and further touring through 2011. Mojo and Drowned in Sound praised Parades as among the 25 best records released in 2007, while Clash magazine called it one of the Top 40 albums in their five-year history. Parades' lead single 'Mirador' has now racked up well over one million views on YouTube.
