Song of The Day – Echo and The Empress “Balloon”

Pop/Indie

Coming out of Adelaide, South Australia are Echo and The Empress. A cute, poppy, sing along, feel good and let your worries fall away sister act, combining the talents of Beth on piano & vocals, Skye on guitar & vocals, along with the band featuring Sam on the drums and Elise on bass.  Their self titled debut album was released on the 31st of March containing 12 tacks that are full of meaningful, dynamic and sincere music.

The opening song from the album “Balloon” (have a listen here) is bursting with great vocals helped along with some creative and intelligent use of delay. Sweet, harmonious, carefree, distinctive  and confronting the song is driven along with a steady drum beat while the harmonies captivate you and pull you along.
