| THE DENSITY AND POWER OF ECHO LAKE |
| Monday, 04 June 2012 00:00 | |||

London dream pop duo Echo Lake are set to release their debut album, Wild Peace at the end of this month and initial listens suggest its a gem of a record. Incorporating elements of dissonant reverb drenched pop with nods to shoegaze and 80s electronica and even the slightest hint of Britpop, bands of the ilk of Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, Spirtitualized, Arcade Fire, Beach House and Deerhunter have been dropped by various media to give you an understanding of Echo Lake's plethora of influences. That's not to say they simply ape these esteemed musical projects, things are far more complex than that and Echo Lake have a dense and powerful disposition that is all their own. That density and power is on full display with the first cut from the record, 'Even The Blind' which you can grab below. Wild Peace is out on June 26 through No Pain in Pop (UK/EUR) and Slumberland (North America).
