Description
"This one might've been in us from the start", says John Hancock. He's talking about 'Echos' - his, Becky Williams, Finn Bjarnson & Ryan Raddon seventh Late Night Alumni longform.
Predominantly known for blending electronic and organic elements into their music, the album represents a departure from the band's largely house-led sound. An all-acoustic affair, in many ways though 'Echos' is a natural extension of LNA's DNA. "Most of our songs", John continues, "are written in the organic/acoustic realm and then produced with electronic flavours to create our sound. In those intimate song beginnings though, there's a magic all its own. We've long wanted to do an album that captured and augmented that initial intimacy."
Which is indeed what Becky, John, Finn & Ryan have now done. The quartet have dug back into their twenty-year, six-album history and selected eleven tracks that they felt could most benefit from this song-spotlighting treatment. With their original acoustic intros as cues, they've taken them to their natural conclusions. A Sliding Doors-type feast for LNA enthusiasts both new and established, or indeed all lovers of downtempo, downtime, live instrumentation-led music, 'Echos'.
