Twenty-four months after the release of their critically acclaimed third album The Octopus, Amplifier returned in 2013 with a brand new album Echo Street - their first with the new four-piece line-up - and first for Kscope. The band of Sel Balamir (guitars) and Matt Brobin (drums) re-emerged at the core of a very different animal - a four-piece line-up that has delivered a subtle shift in style allowing them to mix their epic space rock jams with accessible pieces boasting three-part vocal harmonies - sung by Sel, former Oceansize man Steve Durose (second guitar) and Alex "Magnum" Redhead (bass). Echo Street opens with four vast epics Matmos, The Wheel, Extra Vehicular and Where The River Goes, and then shifts into more subtle and reflective territory; the haunting Paris In The Spring and the classy, CSN-like Between Today And Yesterday, the Floydian infinity of the title track Echo Street before ending on the anthemic and uplifting breeze of Mary Rose.
