THE ECHELON EFFECT

The Echelon Effect biography
London based one-man's band was founded in February 2009. It started with a laptop and an idea: write a track, and make it huge. But one track became four, an EP tracks were posted on MySpace.

"Leaving It Behind" was followed by two more EPs and remixes for The Appleseed Cast and City Breathing. Word spread, and the tracks began to attract positive reviews and gather airplay.

The Echelon Effect's debut full-length, "Reunion", was the final part of a quartet of recordings that form 'Wires and Tapes', an 141-minute sequential loop of tracks, each bleeding into the next and the last into the first. As a thank-you to the people who had been instrumental in the evolution of the Echelon Effect, fans were invited to record spoken statements about what home meant to them, which were incorporated into the album?s title track.

More remixes followed, for God Is An Astronaut, Codes In The Clouds, Our Ceasing Voice, Good Weather For An Airstrike and EVOLV among others. In March 2010 The Echelon Effect began work on "Mosaic", their second full-length, featuring the addition of Steve T on drums.

Band's music is melancholic aerial post-rock, with ambient soundscapes, usually down tempo, heavily influenced by Sigur Ros.
