| New Echo Us album reflects higher planes of reality... |

EPK Interview Pt 1  |  EPK Pt 2 [coming soon]

Contact: info_AT_echous.net


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Now forging ahead through their multi-album suite started with 2009’s The Tide Decides, Echo Us continues to introduce intricate, evocative and new sounds for ambient rock music. Set for release March 20th 2012, Tomorrow Will Tell The Story lifts its tale from automatic writing channeled by its creator, Ethan Matthews. The voices call for light and unification- as we continuously create our own realities.

Across the album singer-songwriter Henta weaves duets of dark and light with Ethan, cascading over the harp of Raelyn Olson and meditation canticle performed by hermeticist Rawn Clark.


The video animation for the song Mirror In The Window brought much praise in 2011- Its mystical quality being a step outside. Ethan's music has always been unpredictable, but here the entire concept seems to come from a completely alien space-



Ethan writes:
“I’ve always gotten the lot of my musical ideas from dreams and trance states- but this time was different...

...Words and phrases came from completely outside of me into my mind very clear and vividly- and I’d never recalled them before. These were spiritual sayings and ideas that were quite alien to me. This became not only the inspiration for, but direct material lifted for The Archaeous of Water suite. This experience led me to discover Kabbalism and esoteric works such as The Seth Material along with other forms of spiritualism.”


Signed pre-orders for Tomorrow Will Tell The Story are on sale now at www.echous.net. The CD album also includes two extra album tracks and one bonus track not originally slated for release. 2009’s The Tide Decides on Musea Records generated a new interest in Ethan, who first gained recognition as a young talent in 2000 with his first Musea Records release- Greyhaven.

Fusing the surreal with the organic, Tomorrow Will Tell The Story represents continued innovation in modern music:   As the title implies- A new day dawns.

Press quotes:

-Robert Silverstein, writer for 20th Century Guitar and Music Web Express writes:
“Matthews is a multifaceted musical genius...Ethan teaming up with Henta reminds me of Edgard Varese producing Mike Oldfield and Maggie Riley-this is 21st century music in all it’s glory- the sound of the future arriving today from tomorrow land..."


www.seaoftranquility.org:
"Echo Us' mastermind Ethan Matthews is finely tuning his interpretation of modern progressive rock- The most unique sounding album I have heard all year."

www.dmme.net:
“The whale hymns of "Out Of The Blue" lift up the recital "Sh'ma Israel" from the ebbing depth- where a crystal harp strum meets the shadows of a gigantic guitar riff- adding up to an abstract, otherworldly anthem...”

Zillo Magazine (Germany): Echo Us brings warm colors- but not without the rough edges.  Isolated riffs meet   lightning beats and collide with meditative, symphonic landscapes: creating exciting contrasts~

'Tomorrow Will Tell' Documentary Pt 1  | 'Tomorrow Will Tell' Documentary Pt 2 [new]

Website: www.echous.net Contact: info_AT_echous.net




With the March 20th release of Tomorrow Will Tell The Story, Echo Us now offers exclusively through www.echous.net, a lyric notebook and photobook to accompany the CD. The notebook, similar in design to one created for 2009’s The Tide Decides is available as a stand-alone application with all orders placed directly through the group's website.


Now also available is the entire Tomorrow Will Tell Documentary Interview series with Ethan Matthews, creator of Echo Us. The series goes into depth about the making of Echo Us’ latest album, as well as Ethan’s overall musical history starting in the 1990’s with the cross over ambient / progressive metal act Greyhaven. Fans will get to hear first hand Ethan’s approach to music composition, which he calls ‘musical channeling’ due to it’s kinship with spiritualistic phenomena such as automatic writing, channeling and clairvoyance.


In addition, a new video-mix of The Mirror In The Window, the musical and thematic apex to Tomorrow Will Tell The Story is now available. The photo-based video animation was first created by Ethan Matthews and digital artist Andrea Attili in November 2010, but this 2012 remux features the audio mix and master from the CD edition of the album. The messages, ambience and atmospheres of The Mirror In The Window brings to life what the name Echo Us actually means: a call for ‘unity’ and communication with other realities.
