We are overjoyed to share some great news with all of you - Afenginn has officially joined forces with the booking agency, Spectacle Music!

After some years of slightly lower live activity, where we’ve restructured, loaded up on new ideas and ambitions, this marks a significant and exciting milestone in our musical journey and road to supreme world domination.

On Friday the 3rd of February a group of 11 musicians from the Danish National Academy of Music will perform the Klingra album from beginning to end. This special performance will take place at Tobakken in Esbjerg as part of the Folk & Fæstival.

New year calls for a bit of tidying up in the storage. From now and until the 1st of February ALL orders from our webshop will be shipped free of charge all over the globe. Type in the code SALE23 at checkout and the shipping will be for free.

Next week is an exciting week here in Denmark. On Tuesday there’s a general election, where the outcome is supposedly quite uncertain. Although in the big picture it will probably be more or less business as usual afterwards anyway, regardless of whoever gets in the driver’s seat. But it’s exciting and what the news is all about these weeks.

Another thing that is not so much in the news, but nevertheless extremely exciting is that Afenginn will be performing live and giving one of our (since the pandemic meltdown) increasingly rare concerts. This is exciting and if you happen to be in a reasonable distance from the central-Zealand El Doradic Xanadu of Ringsted.

Our 2016 album OPUS has been sold out on vinyl for a while, but is now again available. We just got another delivery of them, and the German pressing plant seems to have been doing a very good job.

OPUS was highly acclaimed in national and international media and was awarded with four Danish Music Awards for Composer of the Year, Album of the Year and Live Act of the Year as well as the Carl Prisen for Best Roots Composer.

Since we started out, we've been having a newsletter coming out every now and then and it was a really nice way to connect directly with y'all through mail, and not necessarily having to be in the claws of various social media channels and algorithms and all that. We used to have an old typewriter, where people could sign up and took the trust quite seriously and putting a fair portion of effort into these letters.

Then a few years ago I accidentally deleted our complete mailing list due to some kind of brainslip clusterfuck. Not more “accidentally” though than that I, with the determination that would’ve made a psychotic beaver jealous, wrote “PERMANENTLY DELETE” (all caps and everything)

The new band Klingra will adopt our latest album Klingra album and pass that baton on from here. What what what?? Read more about it below!

In 2019 we released our seventh album Klingra. An album with a lot of ties to the Faroe Islands. It was recorded up there in collaboration with many Faroese musicians: Teitur and Dánjal á Neystabø on pianos, Mikael Blak on bass, Ólavur Jákupsson singing the faroese lyrics (by the same aforementioned Dánjal). It also features Maggie Björklund on pedal steel guitar and Danish String Quartet on strings - altogether making Klingra a rather different experience than our previous records. Soundwise as well as stylistically.

The last couple of weeks we’ve spent some hours here and there between growing tomatoes and “practising scales” on building a brand new Afenginn website. And now it’s ready enough to go online, so tadaaaa…here we go!

…

So, we’ve found new dates for some of our shows this winter. Now it looks like ..

We’ve got three Afenginn shows scheduled for week 6 here in Denmark:

Our seventh album “Klingra” was released some months ago and we’re getting ready to get out on the road again to perform the music live. We’re having dates in Germany and Denmark announced for the coming months:

It’s a big day today in the Afenginn world. Klingra – the seventh Afenginn album – is released on all the major platforms, as well as physically worldwide.

It’s an album that I’m very proud of and excited to share with everybody. Hope you’ll like it!
