The
Echoing Green have proven very smart songwriters over the years. They
have what it takes to reach the top within synthpop, which sadly doesn't
say much. There are way too many talented pop bands (using mainly electronic
instruments) that don't get enough recognition. I'm positive that if,
say, The Echoing Green's "Beautiful" was released by U2 or some
blockbuster rock/pop band it would have become a huge hit. It's a lively
pop song with massive synth "riffs" and a superb chorus. The
same can be said for a number of tracks on "Music from the Ocean
Picture", an album without surfacing weaknesses. Convincing, also, are the vocals and sense of complex sound structures,
which "Epiphany" is a great display of. NIKLAS FORSBERG |
