Echomatica
A group that’s hard to define, and not only here, with others describing their music as ‘dream pop, shoegaze, alternative/indie rock, ambient electronics, synth-pop and post-punk melancholy.’
Without getting lost in any genre jungle, as ever just listen. And if you want detail read nzmusician’s writeup “Echomatica: Technicolour Dreamscapes” in this udated but assume 2026 article.
