Stroll down musical memory lane with The Best of 2017The year is coming to an end which means it’s time for the Best of Echoes 2017. We’re going to plow through the hundreds of albums, singles, CDs and downloads and pick out the ones that we think pushed the Echoes envelope. We’re tabulating The Best…
On a Slow Flow Echoes, it’s new dreamy, downtempo sampling sounds from Edamame off of Bask and Odesza returns with some downtempo dreams on A Moment Apart. Fridays have never been so chill.
St. Vincent’s new album of twisted rock motifs is called Masseduction and it explores new terrain in her original sound. We’ll also hear from one of dozens of new soundtracks by Bear McCreary, this one for the movie “Unrest.”
On the Next Echoes, the enchanting chamber pop of Gracie and Rachel. Their music is like a meeting of Erik Satie and Max Richter with your favorite singer-song-writer topped by the unaffectedly pure voice of Gracie Coates.
Cold Specks is the performance name of Ladan Hussein. She’s sung on some of Moby’s best songs. On her album, Fool’s Paradise she explores her Muslim and Somali heritage in spare, lo-fi, electronic ambiences.
We’ve sorted through the hundreds of albums, singles, CDs and downloads we got this year, picked out the ones that we think pushed the Echoes envelope, and tabulated The Best of Echoes 2017.
We head east on Echoes for our December CD of the Month. It’s by Japanese composer Hiroki Okano. He’s a multi-instrumentalist working in nature based ambient music as well as electronic dance music. He has a new album of pastoral dreams called Return to the Soul.
On the next Echoes, it’s music from a former Sneaker Pimp when we hear Lucas Oswald’s dreampop album, Whet as in whet your blade. We’ll also hear the duo called Kllo. It glows on Echoes.
