Cross-Linx Groningen: Efterklang, Owen Pallett 1/3
The line-up of Cross-Linx looked fantastic and I was extremely happy that I got permission to go there for FileUnder.
The festival was opened by Efterklang with Daniel Bjarnason and Their Messing Orchestra. Hard to describe in any other way than ‘beautiful’. Wonderfully crafted songs (mostly of their latest album) and played so beautiful. Lots of bandmembers on stage (hey, it is a messing orchestra).

After the show of Efterklang with Daniel Bjarnason and Their Messing Orchestra three acts started at the same time.

Once I had checked the stages, I decided to start with Owen Pallett as that would be the hardest to get into quietly after it started.
Owen Pallett plays violin and adds beats/soundscapes to that. It’s really great to see songs being crafted right before you. Having the stage brought down to floor-level made it just that much more intimate
