Details:
'Echo Other' is All India Radio's fourth studio album and the first since their warmly received and ARIA nominated 2003 self titled album. Released in North America through Minty Fresh and in Australia on the bandâs own Inevitable label, 'Echo Other' was produced by sound designer Byron Scullin whose previous credits include David Bridie (Not Drowning Waving), David Sylvian, High Pass Filter, Snog, Biftek, Music Vs Physics and the Wolf Creek soundtrack. This is the first time All India Radio have used an outside producer and Byron has created a spectacular sonic soundscape, blending the best elements of the bandâs ambient sounds, textures and samples with the energy of traditional drums, bass, guitar overlayed with a smattering of ghostly voices.

Drawing similarities to Boards of Canada, All India Radio deliver a powerful edge as spectacular ambience takes over leaving only the Australian masterminds who collaborated on this album and your mind to perceive what it may. Echo Other is undeniably one of the most elegantly laid out and ethereal albums of the year. - adapt magazine

All India Radio makes juicy, atmospheric musicâthat bulbous genre that people talk about when referring to the space between Radioheadâs more trippy stuff and bands like Sigur Rós and Ai Phoenix...If thereâs a complaint to be made, itâs that âEcho Otherâ is too brief, and weâre left hungering for more. But thereâs enough here to keep us occupied till their next albumâwhich, you know, better be soon. - Zero Mag

Lonesome sagebrush guitar meets swirling deep-space technology during the high points of this Australian trio's fourth album, suggesting a futuristic spaghetti western. - Spin

Spaghetti western guitar, lazed out breaks, drifting horns, padded synth keys, church organ, robotic toy voices, and walls of ambient washes round out the bulk of All India Radio's sound. Don't ever think you've got it all figured out because the trio throw enough unexpected twists and turns in their sound to keep your ears on their toes to the end. Finally, the perfect album to do some hazy relaxing to. - properlychilled.com

Soothing, Sensual and Sexy? We're totally there! We hestitate to call All India Radio ambient, for there's more to their swooping sound than typical numbing rhythms and dreamy drops. There's a distinct cinematic quality to their melange of electronica and live-band reverberations. It's no surprise to hear, then, that they count the legendary composer Ennio Maricone and Brit-rebel band KLF among their influences. - queerty.com

Theyâre one Sophia Coppola film soundtrack away from being the next big thing on the softer side of electronica. The music is beautiful and organic with enough depth to keep coming back for multiple listening sessions...itâs a delicate and intriguing piece of work - Wonka Vision magazine

There is a song on Echo Other, the new album from Australiaâs All India Radio, that sounds like the first day of the end of an ice age. Itâs brief, with an overwhelming sense of warmth, like the soundtrack of rebirth. They call it Sunshine Briefly. Itâs a fitting title. Itâs a prime example that you donât always have to break the ground that you stand so firmly on top of. - thespacelab.tv
