Second Echo album progressing

No Comments

The CDR pictured may not look much, but it is the result of a lot of work for Plankton band ECHO.

Bassist and band leader Greg Nash posted it on Facebook along with this comment: “Looks innocuous but this CD is the culmination of an enormous amount of work over the past months with the enormous help of our producer, the amazing Richard Cottle.
This is a CD of 15 pre-production tracks for the next ECHO album. Some of the final keyboard and bass tracks are already recorded on it, now to replace the electronic sounds with proper drums, guitar, bass, strings, brass, percussion etc and then … the girls!
We could not be more excited.”

We are very excited too and are looking forward to releasing the band’s follow up to their fantastic debut album “Bought Not Souled” which is available on all major music download and streaming sites Worldwide, including iTunes and Amazon and on CD from this very website (CLICK HERE) and also from Amazon (UK only) and CrossRhythms. Watch the website for more details as work on the album progresses
