Art Longo crafts a hypnotic pop where dub echoes meet the mind-altering harmonies of the late 80s. From his Swedish home studio, he builds enveloping soundscapes where misty reverberations and vintage drum machines intertwine with haunting precision.
His album *Echowah Island* (FIP Selection) evokes a soundscape imbued with orange sunsets and cool breezes. The production, muffled by spring reverbs, spatial echo delays, and wah-wahs (Echo + Wah), is always anchored by the satisfying rhythms of vintage drum machines. A bold sensory journey, carried by the captivating voice of Claudia Jonas, whose timbre recalls French icons of the sixties. Her kaleidoscopic lyrics sketch a nostalgic dream world where the line between imagination and reality blurs to better captivate the listener.
