Echran

Echran is a duo: Davide Del Col playing synth - he also released several records with the name Ornament (music located in the territories of obscure ambient) - and Fabio Volpi (programming and voice) playing also in the musical-visual arts collective Otolab. Echran’s music is a form of post-industrial ambient mixed with analogical echoes of the 70’s and the 80’s, all combined with cold digital sequences and an obsessive metronomic minimalism. A lot of tension and hypno runs through the rhythms of this record greeting us with great mood/shape/humour swings. Some solutions are next to some cosmic music of mittel-european origins... but without too much dilatations. The whole work sounds intense and compact, closing to a sort of song composition, a good use of melodies mixed to a great amount of noise. Lyrics are in french: Echran’s vocals are one thing with the songs mood; a The voice’s themes are a sort of a self-confession, bright and crazy: scars of reality in an ocean full of nasty and unhealthy fanatism.
