THE ECHO SESSION - TELL ME

Rate this item
(2 votes)

echoAnother band mining the sixties era pop basement of the Kinks and early Beatles, The Echo Session are a Glasgow based outfit treading very similar musical territory to the likes of The Coral, The La's and The Zutons.

Having played gigs around the UK for the last few years and building up a sizable following, TELL ME is the first fruits of this bands recorded labours; a jaunty sounding throwback to Britpop unfortunately.

With quirky country flecked acoustic guitar work providing the musical backbone and mockney accents providing the vocals, The Echo Session sound more parody than anything else here, their Beatles by way of The Kinks shtik sounding way too forced and arch. For all it's quirks and influences, TELL ME somehow forgets to add much in the way of hooks either, The Echo Session throwing up something way too forgettable and slight here to ever really truly resonate.

TELL ME is an ultimately forgettable sounding slice of sixties aping pop parody, The Echo Session doing little to throw their own spin on proceedings here.
