Before Tripper, Efterklang's honored and acclaimed first album, they released Springer in 2003 on their own tiny Rumraket label. Those who were enchanted by the beauty and majesty of Tripper will find Leaf's reissue of Springer no less an astounding display of maximal impact from minimal input. Created with computer equipment recording live instruments, yet sounding as if a full-bodied orchestra has approached the microphones-- much like Mum, Kronos Quartet, My Bloody Valentine and Sigur Ros.
