Simple sounds, complex words: An Echoic returns with his single "Vague Idea" after a 3-year hiatus. A contrast of unsettled thoughts and chill alt-folk sounds, produced by Andrew Feels (ELIO, Emma Beckett). The Malmö-based singer/songwriter tries to grasp the indescribable sense of constantly leaning into the next moment.

Vague Idea

An Echoic personifies the uneasiness of tough times in "Bad Weather", his first single of 2022. A nervous fast-tempo song that reminds you of freak-folk bands like Grizzly Bear, with Swedish verses sprinkled here and there like a self-interrogating monologue. The fast-paced mood of the song doesn't immediately evoke uneasy feelings. But this was exactly what An Echoic had in mind. "To me, the saddest songs aren’t all minor chords for instance.", he explains.

Bad Weather

An Echoic’s latest single “How to Live” is a tongue-in-cheek reflection on hopelessness. With a certain touch of freak folk, the song has a strange ambiguity that could fool you into optimism if you didn’t pay attention to the lyrics. Produced by Andrew Feels, An Echoic’s steady collaborator who is also known for his work with artists like Emma Beckett.

How to Live

The latest single of Swedish singer-songwriter An Echoic presents the listener with a mirror into individual identity. “Written Lines” explores the idea of the human face as the book of existence, with an experimental freak folk style that sounds like an intriguing unanswered question.
