Echolocation
Leicester based ‘Avant-Rock’ band Echolocation have released their extraordinary debut album C92 on the independent haunted by fame label.
The Album is a collection of songs that reveal the dislocation and disassociation of living in a city that it not your own, a city you did not grow up in, a city where you just somehow ended up.
Echolocation have been around in various guises for more than a decade, several members were in the well received Bocca and some were in art/noise band ‘Chomsky’ in the mid nineties (this sound was later called Post-Rock).
Their distinctive sound marries the “Nu Beat” poetry of Peter Ingram with the tight and surprisingly melodic sound created by Harvey Sharman-Dunn (guitar, vocals, theremin and assorted other instruments, Andy Askey (Bass), Alan Tang (Keyboards, violin, guitar and assorted noises); Dan Hessing (drums); And Paul Hing (Flugelhorn and other brass).
They have been compared to many artists from The Fall, Can, to The Streets, yet no one can quite put their finger on where this sound comes from as it is a distillation of years of playing together ploughing their own furrow.
These are world-weary troubadours, uncompromising, angry and quite frankly pissed off with the state of world that they live in.
Echolocation do not endorse any hair products currently available.
