omik11303 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 FFO: Rinoa, Acres, Devil Sold His Soul, Cult of Luna UK-based atmospheric post-rock/post-hardcore band Echoes are releasing their debut full-length album - The Pursuit - on March 20, 2014. The group has been compared to such greats as Rinoa and Devil Sold His Soul, and the album is nothing less than breathtaking. The shortest track clocks in at about 4 and a half minutes, while the longest, the cathartic roller-coaster closer, is a colossal 8 minutes in length. The vinyl version of the album is on clear vinyl limited to only 40 copies worldwide. "Every song maintains just the right amount of variation and contrast between the heavy and light elements that make Echoes so unique. The seemingly effortless blend of post-rock and hardcore genres make the group something truly exceptional and worthwhile. The Pursuit is an intense record that does not spend any time wasting time." -Hit the Floor "With over an hour of music, ‘The Pursuit’ is one hell of a journey. It’s simply gargantuan in epic-ness, like a soundtrack to a hugely emotive movie with a unique take on melodic beauty and dynamics." -Rockadia Listen to the full album now on Already Heard: http://alreadyheard.com/post/80164016245/exclusive-album-stream-track-guide-echoes-the#.UytxqYdOXIV Pre-order here: http://www.weareechoes.com/preorder/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 This is undoubtedly the best album I've heard in a very, very long time. Everyone should at least check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Dig it but you can only Paypal on their site that lacks the vinyl. C'est la vie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchorlessbodies Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I am impressed by the full-album stream, so I think I just grabbed the last copy, thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yes! So happy this sold out and that these guys got the support. Now to wait to hear how the pressing's going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omik11303 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 They just posted on Facebook that this record will be released in the USA and Canada via Universal Warning Records on July 22nd. So for anyone that missed this there might be another vinyl preorder. But it probably won't be /40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnombre91 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 How the fuck do you make money from pressing /40? Im guessing whatever other variant they press will be considerably more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedong Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Glad there will be another coming because this is awesome. Had no idea this was coming out, very disappointed I missed it because I love all these associated projects. I JUST found out that Waves was pressed recently and snatched that in a heartbeat.

omik11303 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I was stoked to see this on my porch this morning. (And - thank God - not in a bubble mailer.) I was impressed with the glossy, laminate jacket they went for and the vinyl was really cool, too. Mine had white wisps in the clear. I'll post pics later today.
