Shoegaze Industrial Electronic

Dead Leaf Echo is a music/art collective that released their debut LP Thought and Language in 2013. That album was strongly influenced by many 4AD acts, brought into sharp focus by the mixing of John Fryer (Lush, NIN, Depeche Mode) and featuring artwork by 4AD’s legendary designer, V23’s Vaughan Oliver (Pixies, Bauhaus), which further enhanced their strong aesthetic connections to that label. In 2019, the band had just wrapped a tour of the West Coast featuring a performance at KEXP’s “John in the Morning” and flew back to NYC to begin recording their third LP. Planning to release the record and tour Europe in the Autumn of 2020, the band’s preparations were scuppered by the outbreak of the pandemic. Using the down time to remain creative, Dead Leaf Echo finished recording the rest of the LP while in lockdown from both their home and practice studio. James Aparacio (Spiritualized, Depeche Mode) mixed the while Jeff Berner (Psychic TV, Shilpa Ray) did the final recordings at Studio G. Joe Lambert (Blondie, Deerhunter) was brought in to master.
