‘WILD PEACE’ TEASER

ECHO LAKE - EVEN THE BLIND

Check out the new Natalia Stuyk produced video for ‘Even The Blind’, the lead single from  Echo Lake’s forthcoming debut album Wild Peace.

Shot in a World Way II bunker in East London, the projection feedback-heavy visuals mirror the shimmering, beautiful guitar lines.

We’re overjoyed to announce Echo Lake’s debut album - Wild Peace - will be released through No Pain In Pop (Europe) and the seminal Slumberland label (North America) on June 25th/26th.

Marrying Thom Hill’s huge, dense production with countless interweaving layers of Linda Jarvis’ emotive and cavernous voice the album seems to float like the densest of mirages, yet maintains a strict and majestic indie-rock classicism. It’s a uniquely direct and committed take on the melodic side of psychedelia’s pop frontier; the sound of a band flying close to the sun with just their debut album.

Album centrepiece ‘Even The Blind’ is available for stream and free download below.

Echo Lake - Peaking Lights remix

With a debut album very nearly finished and primed for a summer release, Echo Lake have released a remix of Peaking Lights’ ‘Marshmellow Yellow’ from last year’s 936.
