Stream 'Belladonna' : https://echoframe.fanlink.to/belladonna

 The Vancouver-based musician Echo Frame takes inspiration from all corners of the music world and swirls them into a bottomless pot of indie, soul, surf-rock, disco and more. With “Belladonna”, the songwriter invokes a blissful, genreless euphoria as he unlaces his narrative of romantic infatuation. The way Echo Frame partners funky guitar lines with dreamy vocals and a strolling rhythm section makes us particularly impatient for the release of his upcoming EP...

Stream 'Selva y Mar' : https://tatifalco.fanlink.to/selvaymar

Tati Falco is an Argentinian-Italian musician and producer based in Lucca, Italy. ‘Selva y mar’ is the first single release from the upcoming eponym EP, which will be the first volume out of a trilogy. The three volumes represent a journey, a travel diary, partly written and with some pages still blank. The warm sound of Tati Falco aims to create images, from information that was decanted during and after trips made in recent years.

Stream 'Another Land' : https://vernmatz.fanlink.to/anotherland

A fairytale folk song where the green rays of the sun lie just out of reach. Imbued with the sensibility of a road movie, Another Land reaches out from a fog, a celestial body leaping out against the night sky as we live, learn, and forget.

Burnt Out

Clay Pigeon

This is a punk rock song written in the wake of the glorious train-wreck that was 2020. The song's steady driving beat and ever intensifying bite expresses a sense of hope and resolve to help fight the good fight, whatever that may be. Like many, we found ourselves knocked down and humbled last year, but we have hope the world will come out of it a better place. Much love

Last Time

A Pickle

dance in the light sleep with the eye on
come in together, fall apart
go on in a crowd, 
together just to fall apart
to fall apart
and i feel it coming
midnight and my temperature’s rising
and i feel the blood rush to my fingers..
you and i, natural born killers
you and i, natural born killers
killers
killers
killers

is someone at the door?
is there someone at the door?
from the very first
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
drawing from the red earth cheap black blood
from the dirt
from the dirt
midnight and my temperature’s rising
and i feel the blood rush to my fingers
you and i, natural born killers
you and i, natural born killers
killers
killers
killers

It's about indulging in nostalgia and missing long nights with friends. It's about giving yourself what you want, even if just for the night.

Stream 'Red Carpet' : https://echoframe.fanlink.to/redcarpet

Wind-swept, sun-soaked and carefree, the latest single from up-and-coming Vancouver-based musician Echo Frame is a groovy ballad that'll give listeners a smile.

Taking inspiration from all corners of the music world and swirling them into a bottomless pot of indie, soul, surf-rock, disco and more, Echo Frame invokes a blissful, genreless euphoria as he unlaces his narrative of romantic infatuation.

Partnering funky guitar lines with dreamy vocals and a strolling rhythm section, the songwriter tenderly showcases his lyrical ability as he delivers a personal account of romantic infatuation.
