Efterklang have announced that long time drummer and trumpet player Thomas Husmer is to leave the line up.
All change with Efterklang. The last time our paths crossed, the Danish collective had collaborated with Vincent Moon on the concert film ‘An Island’.
Now the band are surging ahead, preparing to record new material. Sadly, though, Efterklang are to say farewell to long time drummer / trumpet player Thomas Husmer in the process.
In a short message, the Danish group confirmed Husmer’s departure: “Our dear friend, great musician and Efterklang drummer/trumpet player for over 10 years, Thomas Husmer has decided to seek new adventures and is no longer a member of the band.”
“He will be dearly missed in Efterklang, but we fully support and understand his decision. Please help us thanking him for all his contributions and the many memories.”
Thomas Husmer added:
“I feel so genuinely privileged to have been part of the Efterklang family and the whole Efterklang project. Over the past ten years we’ve done so much together. We’ve had so much fun and we’ve been so many fantastic places. From when we started out and until now, it’s been an adventure that exceeded all we ever dreamed of. Life with Efterklang has given me more than I could’ve ever imagined, and I’m forever thankful for everything. I’ve had the experience of my life on this crazy fantastic roller coaster ride!”
Finishing, Efterklang confirmed that they are working on new material. “Please also note that this is not the end of Efterklang. We (Casper, Mads and Rasmus) have been working on a new Efterklang album as a trio for 6 months now and we are very excited to report that it is going well with many new songs in progress.”
