* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Varies between 1 and 2.

* BadassBeard: Mads, starting from the ''Piramida'' era.

* AdvertisedExtra: The video for "Vi er uendelig" was advertised hyping supermodel Helena Christensen's participation, but she appears only in the few last seconds and doesn't do much.

* ''Altid sammen'' (2019)

An AlternativeRock band from Copenhagen, UsefulNotes/{{Denmark}}. Less generally, they have elements of BaroquePop, DreamPop, ElectronicMusic, folk, [[PostRock post-rock]] and ([[NewSoundAlbum starting with their third album]]) indie pop. The core members of the band are Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen and Rasmus Stolberg. Rune Mølgaard was part of the original line-up until 2007, but [[DemotedToExtra now only performs with them sometimes]]; similarly, drummer Thomas Husmer left the group in 2011 leaving it as a trio. They are probably best known for their song ''Mirador'' (the AnimatedMusicVideo of which has over a million views on Website/YouTube) and their recent free single ''Modern Drift''.

* NewSoundAlbum: ''Magic Chairs'' is more pop-y than Efterklang's previous albums.

** The "Vi er uendelig" video is an homage to Creator/JohnnyHallyday's TV performance of "Le pénitencier" (a French cover of "The House of the Rising Sun") in 1964.

It consists of Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen, Thomas Husmer, Rasmus Stolberg and (until 2007 he was part of the original line-up but [[DemotedToExtra now only performs with them sometimes]]) Rune Mølgaard.

"Efterklang" means remembrance or reverberation (literally, it means "after sound"). They actually got the name from one of their electronic musician friends who was using [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberation the latter definition of "Efterklang"]] to explain the technical concept.

* {{Ambient}}: All of their work pre-''Parades'' had elements of this, even on ''Parades'' the song ''Illuminant'' still qualifies. ''Foetus'', ''Doppelgänger'' and ''Tortuous Tracks'' are good examples from ''Tripper'', ''Antitech'' and ''Filmosonic XL'' are good examples from the ''Springer'' EP and ''Hands Playing Butterfly'' is a good example from the ''Under Giant Trees'' EP.

* DerangedAnimation: The ''Illuminant'' and ''Mirador'' videos.

* EpicInstrumentalOpener: ''Polygyne'', among other songs.
* EpicRocking: Naturally for a post-rock band. ''Kloy Gyn'' is their longest song at 8:01 minutes.

* LastNoteNightmare: ''Full Moon'' has a synthesized note that comes out of nowhere and greatly increases in volume during the last eleven seconds of the song, when it has seemingly finished. [[MoodWhiplash This immediately segues]] into ''The Soft Beating'', one of Efterklang's happiest songs.
* LonelyPianoPiece: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pilzqHDjH8g Mimeo]]''

* MonsterClown: The clown from the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuYAOGS_55g Caravan]]'' video tries to get children to kill each other. [[StuffBlowingUp Awesomely, regardless]].
