Ecke Wu - 表演Performance (2020) EN

Ecke Wu (figuring on Spotify as 吳雪穎) is a project from Shanghai, one about which a little is known. These mysterious vibes only make the music more interesting, although the music itself is worth checking anyway. Especially on the recent album called 表演Performance.

It is opened by slow melodies and sweet vocals in Spring - Impression. It's worth looking into how dense and oneiric the atmosphere generated by guitars and non-offensive electronics is. It makes you feel the urge to dream and flow away in your thoughts. So the dream pop's clue is undoubtedly checked. Another adjectives here that must be pronounced are mellow, peaceful, swinging. But all of this to certain moments as the band are also able to show some of shoegazing guitar noise, I think i Flyer for the first time. 

Something that makes Ecke Wu stand out is also, of course, the language. In the moment when the vocalist turns from English to Chinese, the air around gets even more intriguing and atmospheric. Nothing helps as much as a mysterious and exotic language. The album gets to the dreamy heights in The End, but this is not the end of emotions as it's finished in the loudest, sharpest, almost blackgaze surprise in One. And I think I'd like to hear the band in this form on a longer distance.

表演Performance costs 9 USD.
