Echowah Island by Art Longo

Art Longo, multi-instrumentalist and composer, has just
released your next favourite album. Dwelling in the
self-selected confines of a humble home recording
studio for years, cooking up psychotropical pop hits
heavily influenced by the late eighties music culture
and dub.

The Album, Echowah Island, in its entirety manifests a
soundscape drenched in orange sunsets and cool
breezes. The production, smothered in spring reverbs,
space echo delays and wah wah(Echo + Wah), always
grounded by the satisfying chugging rhythms of
various old drum machines.

It is a creative endeavour and prosperous collaboration
alongside Claudio Jonas, whose airy mysterious voice
brings to mind the classic french femme fatale singers
of the sixties. Her lyrics, almost kaleidoscopic in nature
paints a nostalgic, rose-tinted dreamworld but never
fails to challenge the listeners imagination and sense of
reality.
