Ecca Vandal announces new album, shares explosive single SORRY! CRASH!

Ecca Vandal has announced details of her new 17-track album, LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO UNFOLLOW.

Arriving on May 22 via Loma Vista, the record is about, “The systems. The trends. The illusions of connection. I find empowerment in being loud and noisy especially as a woman in this global moment who grew up in a culture that told me I could not be those things.”

Ecca recorded and produced the whole thing alongside Richie Buxton in the Aussie producer’s childhood bedroom (yes, really).

“We cut out everything that didn’t serve us, the timelines, the metrics, the pressure to ‘stay visible’ online,” she explains. “We tuned out of the feed and turned inwards. In Richie’s childhood bedroom, we built a tiny home studio, four walls that became a universe. The internet was painfully slow, so we were truly disconnected from the online game.

“Deep in bayside Melbourne, far from our inner-city friends, that little room became our whole world for nearly two years. It held all our chaos and all our clarity, a little ‘playpen’ where we could live, play and experiment like teenagers again. We started making things with our hands again, tangible, imperfect and real. We wanted to celebrate long-form, the idea of an album as a whole body of work, while the world was chasing 15-second snippets and algorithm friendly noise.

“So we left behind the room packed with industry chatter and opinions, and created our own little haven. And honestly, it was magic. The best decision we’ve ever made.”

As well as previous singles CRUISING TO SELF SOOTHE, MOLLY and BLEACH, the LP will include the newly-released SORRY! CRASH! – hear it now:
