Efterklang lose member, start new LP

Efterklang drummer Thomas Husmer has left the band to work on other projects. However, the band - now a trio - have also announced that they have started work on their fourth album.

Husmer said in a statement: "I've felt the urge to dedicate myself to a more simple and domestic life closer to my family." He called Efterkalng a project that has been very "dear to me".

The band said the following:

"Our dear friend, great musician and Efterklang drummer/trumpet player for over ten years, Thomas Husmer, has decided to seek new adventures and is no longer a member of the band. He will be dearly missed in Efterklang, but we fully support and understand his decision ... Please also note that this is not the end of Efterklang. We (Casper, Mads and Rasmus) have been working on a new Efterklang album as a trio for six months now and we are very excited to report that it is going well with many new songs in progress".

Husmer added: "I feel so genuinely privileged to have been part of the Efterklang family and the whole Efterklang project ... It's difficult for me to explain in a few words why I've chosen to step back from something so dear to me. And I don't expect anyone to fully understand. Lately my priorities in life have changed. I've felt the urge to dedicate myself to a more simple and domestic life closer to my family. And I've found it impossible to combine this with my life in Efterklang. This has been a very tough decision for me, but I feel good where I am right now. I'm a happy man with a rich past and an unrevealed future".
