After the dynamo sophomore release that was 2013's "Curiosities", New Zealand's Lord Echo returns to Brooklyn's Bastard Jazz label, this time producing Kiwi trio The Elder Statesman comprised of twin brothers and Wellington fixtures Christopher (piano) and Daniel (double bass) Yeabsley with Lord Echo himself on percussion and drums.

On the "A" side, Montreux Sunrise is mellow meander through a laidback early 70s souljazz vibes, while "Trans Alpine Express" picks things up on the B side with a deep, spiritual piano groove, upfront doublebass, and Echo's percussion perfectly in the pocket.

A timeless gem of a 7" from Bastard Jazz, releasing their own namesake for once!

Dear music fan, 

Contained herein is a document of super human endeavor. 

For nigh on a decade, LORD ECHO has toiled to bring forth his 'Melodies' - and I for one believe that congratulations are in order. There was a time when ECHO was but a lowly studio engineer, plying his thankless trade amid a dingy succession of struggling artistes. His was that seedy milieu - the nether region inhabited by musicians, electrical repair technicians and second hand dealers. From such inauspicious beginnings Echo has raised a glittering oeuvre - Bravo 

Yours Sincerely, 
THE PRESIDENT OF ECONOMY RECORDS
