Details:
Echo Movement â music for the Echo Generation. This music embodies a progressive mentality by engaging hope, worth and the many forms of love.

[The Brothers]
Stephen and David were raised on the beach. As they grew up, the ocean became the founding rhythm for their music. By age five, Stephen was singing and David was playing the piano. But it wasn't until college that they started performing together. In 2005, they wrote, recorded and released their first full-length self-titled album as Echo Movement. It became an instant local hit as a quintessential summer, surf and beach sound. Although they embraced this success, they sought a band of musicians who could support their needs for global-reaching music.

[The Band]
Although âband of brothersâ is a cliché, few words could describe Echo Movement better. Member by member, the band assembled into a mosaic of influences and tight performance. Each person brought a new color, if not palette, to the band's sound. Echo Movement finally settled as an eight-piece group of music grads, philosophers and progressives. The band evolved from feel-good beach music to feel-right mind music.

[In The Ocean â The New Album]
Unlike its two full-length predecessors, In The Ocean is the first album by Echo Movement as an expanded band. A certain passion is captured in the writing and recorded performance.

"I Think God Smokes Weed" provokes investment of thought. It is far from a parody or a simple stoner song, but instead a creative and secular approach to a religious paradox.

"All I Can" is an immediate album favorite. After ten years in the writing phase, this peacefully-climatic song embodies the brothers' exhausting, tenacious pursuit of music.

There are a few celebrity appearances on the album. President Franklyn D. Roosevelt's famous Inaugural Address leads "I Know Why," a sociopolitical commentary. It also features Streetlight Manifesto drummer Chris Thatcher on drumline. World-renown theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking introduces In The Ocean's last track, âIn The Beginning.â

The cover art for In The Ocean was painted by Echo Movement's close friend and surf artist Jay Alders. The original piece is called Burning Inspiration, and was painted while In The Ocean was recorded. The art and music are packaged creative compliments to invoke the soul and vibe of the Jersey Shore.

[Echo Movement]
Echo Movement is about love. It's about a passion to learn, communicate and appreciate life's opportunities. It's a recognition of the ability to choose your level of involvement in humanity. It's respect for the earth and our global community and an honor to the pursuit of happiness. It's a shrine to the human range of emotions. It's an expression of music, culture and freedom. Echo Movement is about love, and that is all you need.
