Echo Lake is a band from London that creates atmospheric, dreamy and lush landscapes of distorted indiepop.
Following the praise received for an EP and a single in 2011, this year they released their debut album Wild Peace via Slumberland and Pain In Pop.
Below, Thom (guitars) and Linda (vocal) share their best albums, gigs and artists of 2012.

3 LOTUS PLAZA Spooky Action At a Distance
4 SPIRITUALIZED Sweet Heart Sweet Light
5 TY SEGALL AND WHITE FENCE Hair
BEST GIG
Hard to pick a very best but Spiritualized at Hackney Empire, Grizzly Bear at Brixton Academy, Bruce Springsteen at Hyde Park and Shellac at Primavera were all really amazing shows.
BEST SINGLE
BEACH HOUSE Wild
BEST NEW BAND FOR 2013VISION FORTUNE
One of the best London bands I've seen this year. A few years ago I used to be in a very short lived band with the Singer, Austin. It's great to see him making music again but also such incredible stuff.
It's like super heavy, Pysch, Kraut, and played live it's visually really insane with clever use of strobe lights. I reckon they will have a really big 2013.

FAVOURITE ARTIST FOR 2013 A GRAVE WITH NO NAME
I know that A Grave With No Name has spent this year getting his next album together. I sang some guest vocals on it earlier this year so I've had the chance to hear his new material and it is sounding incredibly beautiful. I can't wait to hear the finished album next year!
