Echo 2 Locate
Made up of Rhiannon Neagle (vocals, guitar), Mike Pritchett (drums), Clarke Hildreth (lead guitar), and Will Servary (bass), the band was founded by Neagle and Pritchett, who firmed up the lineup in May 2018.
What’s special about Echo 2 Locate is their sound, a blend of alt-rock, punk, pop and even hints of metal. It’s powerful, creamy, and oh, so good!
Neagle explains the inspiration and meaning of “High,” saying, “I wanted us to write something that was addictive to listen to and to create a visualization to represent what it's like for some people, like myself, to experience manic tendencies. The song talks about how addictive and stimulating the feeling of mania can be. It also speaks about the constant battle in one's mind that wants to engage in manic tendencies while the other side of you understands what typically comes after those manic tendencies dissipate.”
When Neagle’s voice enters, the tune becomes electrifying because of her scrumptious riot grrrl timbres and creamy sonority.
She goes on to interpret the video, adding, “The stimulating lights throughout the video represent how fast thought processes can become when one is manic. Sometimes one can completely ignore the consequences of their own reality when being manic to the point that they may not even realize a situation they are in or the type of self-destructive people they are around. ('I don't care about my memories, I just wanna feel so high') This is why all of the extras are masked in the video and they can be seen almost like they are cheering me on throughout this manic episode. The importance of everybody lying down at the end is actually crucial to the representation of 'High' as it represents the
“High” opens on delicious chuffing guitars and a potent rhythm topped by a lingering, drawling guitar tone. When Neagle’s voice enters, the tune becomes electrifying because of her scrumptious riot grrrl timbres and creamy sonority. The combination of both tonal flavors gives her voice unbridled exhibitionism and reckless dynamism, as well as residual ozone-like energy.
On the chorus, the harmonics ramp up with surging hues, infusing the tune with radiant muscular impetus, as the guitars take on resonance and washes of sonic weight. The breakdown/solo section features galvanizing guitars and Neagle’s yummy soaring voice.
“High” goes beyond superb, past superlative, and blows by amazing. This song totally slaps, and Echo 2 Locate is a band drowning in talent.
