Ecke Wu is a bit of an ambiguous figure in the music world since you cannot find anything about the band or the leader of it. But this is their second record since their 2015 debut Fade, and they stick to the same formula but execute it with flying colors this time around. From front to back you will soar through ambient shoegaze drones on top of some very lush post-rock style guitar plucks. This sounds like a 40-minute ambient album more than a shoegaze record, but there is so much more here than most ambient albums. The lead singer presents these hushed vocals that complement the instrumentals so well. You will not be disappointed if you want a spaced-out little album. My only complaint is that everything does sound the same after a while, but honestly, that is okay for the most part.
