Echo Ladies
Lilies

 

2023.9月リリース

 

Under the Radar が80点相当

 

シューゲイザーの部類ということらしいが

心持ちやや薄目で、

普通のロック寄りという感じ

 

小粒の良曲ぞろい

 

 

You could be forgiven for thinking Echo Ladies had vanished into the ether. In the five years since the Swedish shoegazers released the acclaimed Pink Noise, things have been worryingly quiet. Worry no longer though because the Malmo trio are back with superb new album, Lilies.

It’s a record that still boasts the coming of age celluloid dreaminess that reeled us in, but there’s a clear a shift in the sound of the new record that reflects the ups and downs of recent years in the lives of Matilda Botwid, Mattis Andersson, and Joar Andersén.

Lead single “Dirty Dancing” opens with stabs of doomy synths and a sparse drum beat akin to Joy Division’s “She Lost Control,” but once again Botwid’s soothing vocal wraps itself around a swooning melody that lands a world away from Ian Curtis’ austere baritone.
