Needle Drop: Echo Bloom, “Evangeline”

Brooklyn transplants Echo Bloom capture undeniable indie-country twang on “Evangeline.”

The Americana/orchestral folk band’s newest single off their upcoming album Red, “Evangeline” is a slow burning love song awash in summer colors and southern comfort. The grit of lead singer Kyle Evans is countered by a glowing backdrop of tumbling twang and weeping slide guitar while the track ebbs and flows from full-blown orchestration to up-front guitar and vocal.

“After bouncing between Washington DC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, Evans eventually caught the muse he was searching for in Berlin. Completely submerged in the German culture, Evans found inspiration in dusty libraries along the Spree and quiet bike rides through the city. After a few months, he left Germany with material for three records.

Because each album seemed to fit into slightly different genres, Evans began thinking about them as different seasons, different countries, and finally different colors. Blue would be the more folk-oriented of the group, Red would be more country rock, and Green would be more classic pop.”
