Echomatica's latest single, "Technicolour Dreams," is a bright mix of sounds that makes them the best band in the retro-infused indietronica scene. This is the band's fourth single from their first album, and it shows a level of maturity and confidence that doesn't match their status as a new band.
From the start, listeners are taken to a dreamy pop world where synths pulse like neon lights on a city street at night. The guitars intertwined give the song a warm, human feel that balances the otherworldly parts. Echomatica strikes the right balance between memories and progress on this song.
"Technicolour Dreams" is especially interesting because of its unique sound palette. The production has a movie-like quality, making it seem as if every note was placed just the right place to create not only melodies but also moods. The sound is both new and old at once because old sounds blend well with new electronic textures. This song makes me think of driving through the rain at night or having a quiet, peaceful morning at dawn. The song has a big sound, but the rhythms and hooks are so strong that they grab the listener's attention and make them want more.
"Technicolour Dreams" shows that Echomatica is a band that can stand out in the crowded world of dream pop and indietronica. This release shows that the band's first album is a deep, thought-provoking work with "Technicolour Dreams" as its bright, pulsing center.
