Efterklang "Modern Drift" 4AD

Being a lover of the label 4AD almost since it's inception in the late 70's and early early 80's, I used to collect everything they put out on vinyl. I was a HUGE fan of the in-house graphic designer Vaughan Oliver, so much so I used to kind of stalk him and eventually corresponded with him briefly. My interest in the label waned in the 90's and though I still like the label, I think it's lost it's way and the bands they sign are not nearly as powerful as they were in the good ol' days. They've gone soft.

Now and again they put out something beautiful and I especially like this song:
