PRAISE FOR THE BAND
“Atmospheric pop majesty.” – Music Feeds
“Cool, off the beaten path… soaked in heavenly reverb.” – triple j
“A stylishly atmospheric bit of dream-pop from the group, oscillating between sparse moments of quiet with lush, textural bursts of guitar and synth. Overall, it’s in the same ballpark as early Foals or Warpaint.” – Music Feeds

The title track tells the universal tale of working an uninspiring job to fund creativity, hopeful that one day the art itself will be enough to survive. How To Win delves deep into those struggles that come with trying to exist in a society driven by money and profit.
The tune kicks off with sparse drums and syncopated bass that frame the band’s signature layered vocals. With a fast-paced, rhythmic delivery, it’s reminiscent of the late noughties acts The Ting Ting’s and Peter Bjorn and John, followed by a hook-heavy chorus and an unexpected, dancehall electro breakdown.
“How To Win speaks to the frustration we can all feel trying to keep our heads above water, particularly in a city that can work against creativity. In saying that, we wrote this song with an optimistic, activist energy and we hope it helps to amp people up, not bring them down! ” – E for Echo

Their last single Talk Don’t Talk was premiered on FBi radio, premiered online with Music Feeds, was added to rotation on 2SER, and the video (below) was created by Michael Chow (Froyo/triple j). The video for How To Win will be premiering at Our Golden Age cinema as part of the Clipped TV music video series on August 20th.
E for Echo have had an exciting year to date, accumulating +12K streams on Spotify alone, playing with The Jezabel’s and launching Talk Don’t Talk last month at a sold-out show at Oxford Art Factory. The entire How To Win EP was produced by the band, was recorded and mixed by Simon Berckelman at Golden Retriever Studios (Architecture in Helsinki, The Internet) and mastered by Nick Franklin (Clews).

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
