Bio
Brooklyn's Dead Leaf Echo is an art collective that just released their debut LP "Thought and Language" in late 2013. The album has clear 4AD influences as it was mixed by John Fryer (Lush, NIN, Depeche Mode) with artwork by the label's legendary designer V23's Vaughan Oliver (Pixies, Bauhaus).
DLE just returned from their east coast tour with Slumberland band Lorelei and played SXSW supporting The Ocean Blue and the Warlocks. They will also be playing TOBs sold out NY show in June. Look for DLE in April on the West Coast playing with Beach Fossils and the Telescopes at The Echo. They'll continue touring the West along with LA gazers Tennis System and will headline the 20th anniversary of the indie gathering Beautiful Noise festival held in the desert of Arizona, along with Captured Tracks band Half String.
They are currently topping the CMJ Top 20 indie charts. They played live on KEXP's John in the Morning and were recently featured as song of the day and are on regular rotation on that station as well as on Nic Harcourt's Morning Becomes Electric on KCSN.
Previous tours and SXSW bills included The Wedding Present, A Place to Bury Strangers & Trail Of the Dead. They festivaled in 2011 with the Psychedelic Furs as well as played sold out shows in 2010 opening for the reunited Chapterhouse and Ulrich Schnauss.
