Echoes unfurls with a glitchy xylophone before erupting into an explosion of downtuned riffs, thumping bass, and cinematic orchestral motifs. Frontwoman Mish Sharma‘s fierce belts and bassist Ben Gallaher‘s cathartic screams channel the collision of grief and trauma of miscarriage. Swerving from spitfire verses dripping with pop-sass to dissonant breakdowns that hit like a landslide, Echoes is a nod to luminaries like Gojira and Evanescence.
Mish touches on the meaning behind Echoes: “This is the fourth chapter in Luna and Sam‘s story, which sees them turn to each other for support as they navigate the grief of pregnancy loss. The lyric ‘echoes’ represents painful memories that keep dragging them back into the same exhausting loops. This song was a blast to record! Ben and I got to experiment with different vocal textures to showcase the emotional toll. It’s always been the crowd favourite in our live set.”
