Dead Leaf Echo

Skyflight Productions presents Dead Leaf Echo on Thursday November 2, 2017 at The Albert S. George Youth Center at Barnesville Memorial Park in Barnesville, OH. Brooklyn's Dead Leaf Echo is an music/art collective that released their debut LP "Thought and Language" in 2013. The album had clear 4AD influences as it was mixed by John Fryer (Lush, NIN, Depeche Mode) with artwork by the label's legendary designer V23's Vaughan Oliver (Pixies, Bauhaus). Their latest EP "Strawberry.Skin" released in 2017 saw them working with Monte Vallier (Weekend, Wax Idols)
and Guy Fixsen (MBV, WIRE) + Jorge Elbreht (Ariel Pink, No Joy) at Mexican Summer's studio in Greenpoint. They just returned from SXSW and a European tour will happen in late May and the LP is to be released on September 29th via Papercup Music
