I certainly don’t mind a bit of ‘You Don’t Mind’ and I’m always up for a bit of the Echo Ohs!
Consisting of Guy Forks on guitar, Yolanda Fagan on Guitar/Bass and Emlyn Williams on Drums, this young New Zealand 3-piece create an interesting blend of primitive Rock ‘n’ Roll and swamp-pop.
Screeching through the darkness comes the intense roar of Yolanda Fagan, echoing her ‘Ohs’ and piercing her yelp’s against a backdrop of a deeply deranged bass lines and shady psych-tastic guitar melodies. Their sound lurks in the shadows, far away from the sunshine haze of jangle pop, with latest track ‘I Don’t Mind’ a testament to the bands garage, post-punk persuasions. It’s my kind of sound, check it out above.
The Echo Ohs are currently working on their debut full-length record which is being laid down on a somewhat temperamental reel-to-reel tape machine; but if this new track is anything to go by, it will all be well worth the wait.
Grab your copy of ‘You Don’t Mind,’ (not forgetting it’s smashing B-side ‘The Gnarl’) from here.
