Dead Leaf Echo is a NYC band that has just finished recording their debut LP "Thought and Language" which was mixed by John Fryer (Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode). The album is scheduled for release in early 2012. Their first single "Kingmaker" will come out on 7" vinyl and digital 1.31.12 on Custom Made Music.

The band toured the US this summer in support of their latest EP "Versimilitude" which was released on May 31st featuring remixes and collaborations from Mark Van Hoen (Seefeel, Mojave 3), John Fryer (This Mortail Coil, Depeche Mode), Elika, RxGibbs and Remarkably Spry!

The band played SXSW earlier this year on bills with "A Place To Bury Strangers" and "And Your Will Know Us By the Trail Of the Dead" and played sold out shows in 2010 opening for the reunited Chapterhouse and Ulrich Schnauss.

Words like ethereal, atmospheric and dreamy all come to mind after a spin of Dead Leaf Echo's Truth, and while all these descriptions are apt (and have been used repeatedly in other Dead Leaf Echo reviews), it's safe to say that the band could similarly be described as heavy, raucous - or simply, loud-as-fuck.
