Background information über 'Echo Street'

Manchester's Amplifier delivered something truly special with "Echo Street", their fourth full-length that showcases the band's evolution into more expansive sonic territories. The album opens with the hypnotic "Matmos", setting a contemplative tone that flows seamlessly into the driving rhythms of "The Wheel". Sel Balamir's guitar work throughout the record is nothing short of mesmerizing, weaving intricate melodies that dance between heavy prog passages and more delicate, atmospheric moments. The production by Balamir himself, mixed by Chris Sheldon, gives each track room to breathe while maintaining the cohesive flow that makes this album such a compelling listen from start to finish.

What makes "Echo Street" particularly captivating is how it balances the band's heavier tendencies with moments of genuine beauty, like the sprawling "Paris In The Spring" and the emotionally charged closer "Mary Rose". The rhythm section of Alexander Redhead and Matt Brobin provides a rock-solid foundation that allows the more experimental elements to flourish, while Charlie Barnes' keyboard contributions add layers of texture that elevate tracks like "Where The River Goes" into truly transcendent territory. This is progressive rock at its most accessible yet sophisticated, proving that Amplifier had truly found their unique voice in the crowded prog landscape.

For fans of: Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Tool, and The Mars Volta
