Swedish dream pop/shoegaze trio Echo Ladies have revealed their new single “Fabrik“.
The track features on their forthcoming second album ‘Lilies‘, due to be released on September 8th via Rama Lama Records and Gazehop Records. Pre-oder your copy here.
According to the press release, Lilies is built on the same foundation that Echo Ladies curated during their past releases, but with a more unyielding presence. While their past songs tried to convey the feeling of nostalgia and hope for the future, mixed with worries and anxieties about defining who you are and what you will become, this album instead tries to balance the emotions of sorrow and loneliness, with anger, frustration, and the determination to make a change for the better.
Take a listen below.
Echo Ladies are Matilda Botwid, Mattis Andersson and Joar Andersén, three school-friends who, after playing in various different bands, realised that they worked best together. In 2014, after looking for “a name that represented their sound”, they became Echo Ladies, partly inspired by the name of the drum machine from a shared favourite band, Echo & the Bunnymen.
Echo Ladies “Fabrik” Lyrics:
It has always been on your terms
I feel myself slowly giving in
You’re holding back emotions and the truth
It has always been your way or no way
You’re wasting time
You miss the fun
I’m holding out a helping hand
Don’t close your eyes and then run away
Please don’t ever tell me who to be
Don’t ever tell me when to speak
You’re wasting time
You miss the fun
Be aware now every single time
Be aware now every single time
Let yourself go try to have some fun
You’re wasting time
You miss the fun
You’re wasting time
You miss the fun
