echo northstar plays curveball on february 12th with support from Mantua

echo north star

Long afloat amongst the tides of joy and desolation, echo northstar meets his audience with a new sonic landscape.

echo's roots in shoegaze, 60s pop, noise rock and ambient meld to create moments of destruction and fragility both on record and in a live setting’.

He writes, performs, produces & records his own material on Ableton. Live he performs alongside a bassist and drummer while changing between the guitar, piano, sampler and vocals.

MANTUA is an experimental music project by Elaine Malone (pôt-pot/GEIS). Influenced by environmental decline, symbolism in the form of Virgin Mary holograms and the decay of nature.

Mantua's third album ‘Galtee Vitual Muse’ released on Fort Evil Fruit is rooted in psychedelia, shoegaze and dream pop, but with a more lo-fi approach, delving into murkier subterranean depths.

‘There’s an instinctive rawness to Malone’s meditations on loss and longing, summoned with gusts of distorted guitar, quivering drones and metronomic drum machines.’ - Anois Os Ard

‘Darkly uplifting and neo-hallucinogenic’ - Wire
