In celebration of the album and song announcement, they will be embarking on a European tour later this year and into 2020. The tour will be kicking off August 23in Edinburgh, GB and will continue on to Oslo, Warsaw, Madrid, and a two-night stint in Copenhagen, Denmark.

See the full itinerary below.

In a press release, lead man Casper Clausen discussed the new album and the group’s hiatus after their final show in their hometown Sønderborg. “We needed a break from the album and touring routine, and we needed a break from Efterklang,” Clausen said. “After the Sønderborg show, things felt very exciting – and a bit scary too. We could think freely, and move in new directions again, just focusing on the things that excited the 3 of us.”
