New Echo & The Bunnymen
Tuesday, October 11, 2005
Echo released a new cd last month entitled "Siberia", if you havn't heard it yet, you are missing out. It has the classic sound of Echo but not as melodic and slow as the last 2 cds. The 1st song Stormy Weather sounds like it came from "Evergreen" Echo's '97 return. The cd is on the Cooking Vinyl label and if you have signed up for eMusic, they have it available for download, that is where I got it. All Because Of You Days is an amazing singalong, showcasing Will Sargent's guitar hooks. Parthenon Drive starts out sounding like Bring On Your Dancing Horses with that light quitar jangle but picks up throught the song. Of A Life is probably the most rockin song, it has some Electrafiction to it, that edge that Ian and Will are so great at. This cd reminds me of the last Cure cd that captured their whole range of sound. The only thing I am bummed about is that Echo are doing some touring but not coming to Detroit. The last show sucked, Ian was sick and the Majestic's sound was awful that it made them sound like some 2 bit local band. I have seen some amazing Echo shows and would like at least 1 more before they close up shop.
