Indieshuffle :: Love Echo – The Scientist

I’ve been a big fan of Love Echo ever since the duo released an awesome cover of The Cure’s “Lovecats” last summer. Vic Miranda and Vicki Glass have an ear for blending emotional dream pop with warm, somewhat experimental electronica. For further proof, please take a few minutes to enjoy Love Echo’s recent rework of Coldplay’s “The Scientist.”



The other day I found myself somewhat unconsciously reciting lyrics from “The Scientist.” So it makes sense that out of nowhere a unique and admirable cover of the track would surface online. Coldplay is one of those bands that everyone reworks, which makes Love Echo’s cover that much more commendable. It stands out to me as both original and complimentary to the original song. What are your thoughts?

Love Echo’s cover of “The Scientist” is available for free download onSoundCloud.

Indieshuffle :: Love Echo – I Promise You Always The Sky

It’s July, 2012. We just shared ambient dream-pop duo Love Echo’s  rework of “Lovecats.” Do you remember? We only had good things to say. Things like, it’s “the sound of cashmere” and “it smells like cheesecake.” Sounds warm and delicious, right? It is. Electro-pop infused with shoegaze? You know you want some of that.

Love Echo is vocalist Vicki Glass and producer Vic Miranda, a post-chillwave duo who create sensual lullabies. Back in July ’12, the two only had a few tracks under their belt. Now they’ll be releasing a new, debut album – I Promise You Always the Sky – later this month. While it’s been a while since those first releases, we still have good things to say. We’re feeling the goosebumps. Love Echo’s just that chill.

Listening to their music is like looking at life with a Gaussian blur, a bit seductive and charmingly dreamy. It’s moody glo-fi that inspires relaxed memories, like laying out in the grass on a breezy spring day. Something between oOoOO, Clams Casino, and Washed Out. This track “Hush” is one of my favorites, but I’m also really into Daybreak. Fuck it. You know what? It’s all good. Listen to the whole thing. Chill out.

They’re hoping to go on tour in the immediate feature, and are still making tracks in the meantime. Their album drops January 28, 2013, but until then, you can listen to tracks on their SoundCloud. Order the CD or vinyl through their label, LebenStrasse.

Indieshuffle :: Love Echo – Lovecats

Vic Miranda and Vicki Glass have put out a simple teaser of their newest duo project, Love Echo, and it’s chilling not just by nature, but by the great expectations they’ve fostered with their barely-there releases.

Their reprise of “Lovecats” is a song that coddles you in serenity. Let’s take away the jumpy beat, itching vocals, and the indie-rockabilly sense that The Cure created with their original song. Let’s drain it of its spunk and youth, and fill it full of warmth and twinkling vocals. A mellow stream of melody allows the tender vocals to weave in and out of the note-by-note piano tune and leaves you glistening with affection. “Lovecats” is the sound of cashmere, it’s the smell of cheesecake — all of its aspects are delicately wonderful.
