I’ve been a fan of LA-based rockers Echoes de Luxe for quite some time now; unlike most other bands foisted on me these days by either MTV or VH1 (when they actually get around to playing music videos) or other douchey hipsters trying to exert their own inflated sense of cool by talking up one obscurely-named, emo-influenced, noise groups, Echoes can actually play their own instruments well and the singer can ACTUALLY SING!

Moreover, the band’s mix of electronic texturing mixed with shifting rhythms, solid guitar playing, and contemplative lyrics make for post-Floyd space rock with enough space to move into various other sonic spaces at will. The guys recently posted their latest work, The NotreMonde Demos, online for free download for anyone interested.

The 7-song playlist is a marked step up from their initial EP and shows a band that is further settling into their sound with confidence building. Most importantly, the guys are putting it up for free!

At the very least, you get a great set of music for zero pennies and at best, are turned onto a new band that puts faith back into us disappointed by the Bieber onslaught.
