“Echoes” is the Ethno-Wave love child of collaborators Frank Harris & Maria Marquez. A collection of sublime songs dating back to ‘85, avant-pop flourishes are married here to the heart strings of a synthetic Amazon- think MFM’s “Outro Tempo” meets a tropical Sade. With much contemporary interest in South American electronic music, Echoes is a window into two musicians' prescient dreamings of tradition, melody & technology.

Revelling in the embrace of Maria’s Venezuelan roots & folklore visions combined with Frank’s custom Synclavier synth station, songs such as ‘Canto Del Pílon’ and ‘Tonada de Ordeño’ resonate with a charged future/primitive electricity, Maria’s song-to-a-siren vocals mainline with Frank’s lush sonic alchemy.
