This is a record in which Warren has fused elements of dance, rock, trance and folk to create exquisite pieces of crystalline future-leaning pop.
-
Echoboy slakes our thirst for accessible but quirky pop.
-
Echoboy nonchalantly pits twittering electronica and filmic ambiences against garage guitar riffing and sugary Europop: the result is an unpredictable 45-minute journey in sound. And it's an alluring trip for the most part.
-
By turns soothing and jarring, the tone suggests Death In Vegas with the neurosis replaced by a mood of ennui.
