albumEchoes

albumEchoes is the studio album by the London-based collective Echoes Collective, released on May 14, 2018 through Nebula Records. The work blends ambient and experimental electronic textures with minimalist post-rock elements and runs for about 54 minutes. The project is credited to the group with contributions from a rotating cast of collaborators, including field recordings and modular synthesis. It follows the band's 2014 release and centers on themes of memory, space, and resonance.

Recording took place in multiple studios during 2017 and 2018. The producers pursued long-form takes, layering subtle acoustic textures with electronic processing to create a sense of spatial depth. Instruments include synthesizers, piano, guitar, and percussion, complemented by found sounds and choir samples. The liner notes describe a tactile approach to sound, where echoes shape perception rather than dominate it.

Critical reception was generally favorable. Reviewers praised the album's immersive atmosphere and careful sound design, noting a cohesive arc from opening track to closing ambience. Some critics described the pace as deliberately slow and the mood as restrained, which was viewed as a strength for attentive listening rather than a flaw.

Track listing includes: Echoes at Dusk; Fragments of Silence; Perimeter of Night; Lumen in the Static; Remnants of Breath; Aerial Rain; Memory Tape; Afterglow.

Personnel: Echoes Collective comprises core members J. Marin, L. Patel, and S. Ito, with contributions from Priya Natarajan (engineering and mixing) and additional musicians noted in the liner notes. Production was led by the group; mastering was by Thomas Reed. The cover art, by S. Ito, depicts a muted landscape intended to evoke echo and distance.
