Tripper is the debut album by the Danish group Efterklang. The name of the album, according to member Thomas Humser, refers to two things: one, "tripper" is the slang term for a traveler; and two, it is also a Danish meaning for shuffling one's feet in anticipation of something good to happen. The album cover was done by Marie Hill and is a mashing of doodles she drew. The logo of the child dancing next to the band's name is supposed to represent the childlike approach to this music. The self-released limited edition version of the album had a hand-stitched card sleeve.
