EchoGram are mixing it with the big boys

"I kinda feel like I made a major label record but I’m releasing it independently," announces Kilian Pettit, the main man behind Cork electro rock outfit EchoGram.

While the availability of cheap technology means anyone can make a decently recorded product, Pettit refused to cut any corners when it came to EchoGram’s debut self-titled album.

A week was spent recording the drums in the US at Temple Studios, formerly owned by Fleetwood Mac, now hangout to hip-hop stoners Cypress Hill. From there the sessions moved back to Cork, where EchoGram’s long time producer and former Cyclefly guitarist Ciaran O’Shea, worked on the tracks. Finally they were sent back to Los Angeles to be mixed by Sean Beavan, best known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson. Quite the journey and quite an investment.
