Efterklang - Black Summer - Official Video

The video for Efterklang's Black Summer is made and produced by Everything All at Once (Kevan Funk and Benjamin Loeb).
Black Summer is taken from Efterklang's 4th album Piramida released September 2012 on 4AD & Rumraket. You can buy Piramida on Vinyl, CD and MP3 via www.efterklang.net. Buy on iTunes: smarturl.it/itu.... Watch the Efterklang documentary 'The Ghost of Piramida' here www.theghostofp...
A note from Kevan Funk and Benjamin Loeb, the makers of the video:
The conceptual basis for the Black Summer video was anchored around a desire to explore issues of incarceration and our perception of criminals. The interest was not to focus on violent criminals, it was instead to focus on individuals who end up in the penal system as a result of systemic issues around poverty, abuse and neglect. The displaced, and ultimately doomed, animals that carry the story are used to illustrate a particular commentary, one that, ironically, attempts to humanize this maligned population.

Such a wonderful and powerful song, but a very difficult video to watch - has me in tears every time.

[@dreamscapechaser517]

The Piramida album should have gotten more attention when it was first released. Efterklang are great.

[@GCLU]

one of their best songs, probably the best of the album

[@jonastti]

This song should never end

[@karmlol]

Oh wow, this is just stunning. Such a powerful story, showing only the everyday things as they happen... Absolutely beautiful, I am not able to express how well the music goes with the video. The innocents adopted, abandoned, their lives completely taken over, their time running out. Devestating, especially with us being able to love those creatures *so much*.

[@TheMudhawk]

You guys just broke me with that video. Not sure if I can ever watch it again.

[@medulla2393]

BEST song ever and heartbreaking video 🥹❤️‍🔥

[@denisangelov3711]

Greetings from Bulgaria! You guys were amazing in Sofia Live Club last night! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

[@jksynth]

I wish I had a large piece of land with a fence around it and could go rescue a lot of dogs from the pound. Very nice video and music. I love dogs. I miss Amanda too and our dogs.

[@MTwoOne]

Absolutely amazing, guys. Thank you.

[@lameimpala8426]

I love how people are hating on this because they think it's the 11 year old DJ even though this isn't even that bad.

[@Cctv106]

6,864 views? Fucking hell. This is a masterpiece.

[@walterleach5655]

What’s the name of the techno song played in the underground club in episode 6?

[@apalala4166]

I've known this song and video before that Black Summer kid got famous. Really sad to see how the comments get spammed because of that kid...

[@toomanyusernames1000]

Absolutely love this piece, and i'm writing about it for uni, but it's late and i'm tired could anyone on here tell me what time signature they think it's in? I'm thinking it must be alternating signatures? if anyone knows please let me know, thanks !

[@toomanyusernames1000]

wow! that's incredibly helpful, and really really cool..! I'm a huge fan of the band I think I'll source that article in my essay, the bit where they discuss their rhythmic styles. Thanks again engine-music China!

[@toomanyusernames1000]

That's what I thought :) although I've listened to it so often I've almost memorised it!! thanks, thats insane

[@GhostEshie]

This just wrecked me in the best way.

[@m0nth0r]

I feel bad for efterklang shouldve not called this song black summer

[@potatoeshavefeelingstoo8972]

SupremeOreos ikr lol

[@csgokngs2698]

Keep up good work

[@GB517]

My heart

[@greenmarcosu]

I had no idea the video for this song would be so sad

[@Collision_TN]

Same

[@goopah]

Yup. Seriously sad.

[@kayt5588]

Omg this isn't that 11 year old Jacob sartorious dj!! Does his voice sound like an eleven year old? Songs called black summer.

[@wdimaIIOfficial]

ok...so epic piece, but this clip is stunning...

[@ndotc2262]

All I need is my oats...

[@FTHDProductions]

To keep the world spinning

[@vicemajor]

brother give me some oats.

[@heitorcornelius]

the final solo sax should have taken the scene... into an awesome instrumental! efterklang should be 40% instrumental... like the old days, when magic used to be all over their music ;)

[@Konspirata]

sorry for digging it up, but your comment still happens to be at the top. What do you mean, is Efterklang being too instrumental in your opinion?

[@mattm6509]

i miss my baby girl, Chrystal's! 3 leg. r.i.p.

[@Jessikoe]

Nooo, Champion the 3 legged dog, let me adopt you.

[@sonidos1000]

[@jakejakes]

This is 2018.... not 1605

You call music to this??

[@oswaldojuandominguez2541]

Manoel luthieri ??

[@oswaldojuandominguez2541]

Manoel luthieri Sorry man!! I thought it was a song from other guy that I hate a little bit because some people call him "producer" and the only thing that he does is nothing special. Sorryyyy :))

[@oswaldojuandominguez2541]

Manoel luthieri You man speak very Good. I feel better with your answer. Thanks!! :)

[@potatoeshavefeelingstoo8972]

Oswaldo Juan Domínguez this wasnt made by that 11 y/o kid..

[@pointless_paul]

haha indeed

[@sodiumlights]

zz

[@hollybaldwin9521]

You guys know that the artist is an eleven year old boy from AUS right?

[@susinasilur]

+Holly Baldwin You kow that the band's name is Efterklang right? And they're from Denmark.

[@m0nth0r]

Stupid bitch

[@KodyYoshi]

Holly Baldwin you think an eleven year old boy can sing like that???

[@davibramplin2671]

This is great at the start, then for me it looses it's way and becomes a "song".

[@HuddyTaylor]

This is pretty impressive for an 11 yr old but let's be honest here, this is not that good

[@XC_Tom]

u stupid or what? thats the song "black summer" from efterklang, not from the 11y/o kid

[@vigneshrajmohan]

its pretty good, i think you just said it wasn't because you thought it was made by that kid

[@thatoneguy1890]

Thravlyn Official not made by the 11 year old.

[@goopah]

@@vigneshrajmohan People obviously just get click-happy and don't pay attention to a damn thing anymore. Sigh.

[@user-ur1bg6kz6y]

This music is so bad

[@jksynth]

I wish I had a large piece of land with a fence around it and could go rescue a lot of dogs from the pound. Very nice video and music. I love dogs. I miss Amanda too and our dogs.
