THE STORY:
On different islands, caught between the sea, set adrift and searching,
We lie awake, on different lands, beneath strange stars,
Tangled up in the sea, drawn in the light of two moons.
When the land is remade and the stars sing to distant shores, what is it to be lost?
And when will we be found? In familiar city streets, we wander sick and lonely,
Yearn with heavy hearts for places unknown.
Trembling under fragile moonlight, desperate for adventure.

With everything from folk to classical as well talented singer songwriters and those who bring electronic soundscapes from their computer to the chapel’s stage.
On the 10 September 2009 Arctic Circle Radio travelled to a resteraunt in Shepherds Bush for the opportunity to talk to Danish avant-garde rock band Efterklang. Its mission was simple, to discover more about the orchestral project Performing Parades….
