Echotape
Echotape was formed in mid-2010 by a quintet of like-minded individuals from the music scene in a small, off-the-map town in the South of England. Believing passionately in a more considered and coherent aesthetic mission, the group isolated themselves and began to write songs that reflected their convictions. Then, in the spring of 2011, one of their early demos found its way into the hands of Killing Joke bassist and legendary producer Youth (Dido, The Verve, Futureheads and one-half of The Fireman along with Paul McCartney). On their third meeting, Youth declared that he wanted to record Echotape's debut album--with no label or media yet aware of the act's existence, Youth asked the five-piece to decamp to his studio in the hills outside Grenada, Spain. There, in a week, they laid down 17 tunes under Youth's direction, recording everything live, with very little separate tracking, sometimes finishing three songs a day.
Echotape's first commercial release, a four-song EP entitled Sky Above Quarley Hill, was released in early February and available on iTunes. The band is currently available for signing, licensing, booking and publishing. For more information contact Andrew Sharland at ASharland@clintons.co.uk
