Expansive yet deeply intimate, ‘Parades’ marked a defining moment in Efterklang’s evolution, transforming their experimental foundations into something sweeping and emotionally resonant. Released as the follow-up to ‘Tripper’, the album unfolded as a panoramic work of orchestral pop with no clear boundaries, blending electronics, strings, brass, and choral arrangements into a singular, immersive language. Recorded over 18 months and involving more than 30 collaborators, the process reflected the scale of its ambition, yet the resulting songs remained remarkably personal and human in tone.

Across its eleven tracks, ‘Parades’ moved fluidly between grandeur and fragility. Lush orchestration and intricate arrangements framed moments of quiet reflection, allowing melody and texture to coexist without excess. The album’s sense of wonder stemmed not from spectacle alone, but from its careful balance of complexity and restraint. Celebrated by publications such as Mojo, Drowned in Sound, and Clash as one of the standout releases of its era, ‘Parades’ stood as a landmark achievement — a record that felt vast without being distant, and ambitious without losing emotional clarity. It remains one of Efterklang’s most enduring and transportive works.
