They joke on twitter about being called jazz. What they are is your average rock band flipped upside down and manipulated into genius. The vocal lines have been surgically removed and replaced with melodies. Damn good melodies, played by a sax player and backed by players with real musicianship who listen to each other.
I was able to catch A Troop of Echoes at their CD Release Party in May in their hometown of Providence. Their show was proof of the years of hard work they have put in, and the album released that night, Days In Automation, expands on the idea of rock music with every note.
This week's YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE WEEK is one of my favorites from Days in Automation, and an older video that captures their essence and helps convey the sound that defines A Troop of Echoes.
