Ecco2k Readies New Album ‘Echo’

Swedish artist Ecco2k, whose real name is Zak Arogundade, is releasing his second full-length album, *Echo*, tomorrow. The 12-track record builds on the sound and visual world associated with Drain Gang while exploring a more personal direction, including loneliness, longing and the effort to remain sensitive in a hostile world.

Released through his own label, 9th, the album features Ecco2k as its sole vocalist, with production by him and collaborators Gud, Whitearmor, Felix Lee and Mechatok. Its accompanying films were developed alongside the music and follow a lone wanderer carrying a broadcast antenna and searching for signals across varied landscapes. The project continues a shift in his work from introspective self-portraiture towards engagement with the wider world.
