Brooklyn, New York-based Stephen Becker has just released the prolific modern psychedelic track, “I Held An Echo.”
“I Held An Echo” is a dreamy, psych-tinged indie pop track with a pleasing sense of heart. A light, breezy drum beat invites you into the immersive world of the song, which is filled with blissed-out melodies, textures, and ethereal vocals that elegantly skirt the falsetto ranges with breathy flair.
The track’s soothing production touches on various vibes, from the free-flowing modern psych sounds of Tame Impala, to the tense, Blur-esque indie rock builds, and even the controlled freak-outs found on The Mothers of Invention’s 1970s release of Weasels Ripped My Flesh. Synth pads, electric piano, and gentle guitar create an immersive and hypnotic mood, while splashes of glitched-out textures enhance the dreamlike glaze.
Shiny, chic, and sophisticated, “I Held An Echo” is a laid-back, elegantly moody track that could be part of a film soundtrack. The song is taken from the forthcoming album, Middle Child Syndrome.
