Echopark is the exciting new project from Italian musician Antonio
Elia Forte. Originally from Lecce in southern Italy, Forte is now finds
himself based in Whitechapel, east London. As such, Echopark’s music is
an interesting fusion of blissfully rich, summery vibes and cooler lo-fi
synths; curiously and definitively a creature of both sonic worlds.
Echopark’s dreamy lo-fi electronica is now really starting
to make waves in the indie music press, with The Line of Best Fit and
Under the Radar recently heralding the solo artist’s debut track
‘Teleportation’. This upbeat, balmy track features quirky synths and a
wash of rich, heavily layered vocals so vivid they might hopefully
herald some much needed hints of spring to our shores. This lead track,
along with Echopark’s forthcoming debut album has been created entirely
in stolen moments on days or weekends off in a tiny room with just a
handful of microphones, making the experience that extra bit more
romantic for the informed listener.
‘Teleportation’ is available for free download now, and the debut album ‘Trees’ is out on Enclaves on the 15th
April on physical release and to download. Echopark will soon also be
making the transition from bedroom to live venue. The artist’s debut UK
show is scheduled for The Monarch in Camden on 17th April, and is set to include a full band.
