Borrowing in equal measure from the bubble gum ballads of the 60s and the decadent atmospheres through which – during that same decade – The Velvet Underground were implicitly fustigating that music and a few other things, The Echo-Friendly’s new single "Same Mistakes" is pretty much a contradiction in terms. The band’s sound, also because of the addition of a female voice, has obviously evolved tremendously since the debut EP "Still Not Sorry", released at the end of 2010, which was faithful to the dark ballad format, but carried much stronger rootsy influences. The single was released a few weeks ago on Cantora Records. The foursome is well into completing its first EP, expected to come out this fall.
