Efterklang (the Danish word for remembrance and reverberation) is a post-pop group formed on January 2001 in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. The group consists of five core members (Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen, Thomas Husmer, Rune Mølgaard & Rasmus Stolberg). When performing live, the core five-piece band is complemented with the addition of violinist/singer Peter Broderick, trombonist/singer Niklas Antonson, pianist/singer Anna Brønsted and guitarist/singer Frederik Teige.

They have released albums on the British/American record label The Leaf Label, but also have their own record label called Rumraket (the Danish word for space rocket). So far the Rumraket roster includes amiina, Cacoy, Erik Levander, Grizzly Bear, Kama Aina, Slaraffenland, Taxi Taxi! and Canon Blue.

Efterklang has a history of working with many guest musicians on their recordings. A filmmaker (Karim Ghahwagi) can also be found among their key contributors, he has made several visuals for the liveshows 2003-2005 and the video for Swarming. Another key contributor is Nan Na Hvass who is the mastermind behind the critically acclaimed artwork for One-Sided LP, Under Giant Trees, Parades, and the Mirador video (Oct. 2007)
