Efterklang: The Ghost
Fleetwood Mac, Nicolas Jaar, Drake and more in our weekly music recap
For “The Ghost,” the sixth track on their album Piramida, Denmark’s Efterklang tapped Spanish filmmaker Victor Carrey to create a puzzling video filled with individual accounts of death but together makes a unified story about a magical ancient necklace. They met the director at a film festival in Spain a month before they camped out in the desolate Norwegian town of Spitsbergen, where they explored for nine days collecting over 1,000 sounds that would help comprise the outstanding album.
