2011. BEST FOR GUESTS. 2 echo lake

Echo Lake is a five-piece band from London. In 2011, they released their debut EP (Young Silence) and a single (Another Day / Breath Deep) through No Pain In Pop. Their music is lush, dreamy, layered, psychedelic, distorted, dense... metamphetaminic. Gathering a bunch of great reviews from mainstream media and buzz at the blogosphere, Echo Lake is one of the breakthrough acts from 2011.
