Echo Us’ most recent release The Windsong Spires has captured ears and minds across the progressive rock and ambient music worlds this summer. Now Ethan Matthew’s long-standing solo project has released its latest music video, “If You Can Imagine”. If You Can Imagine is Echo Us’ 8th music video since 2012’s The Mirror In The Window, and reverberations from that initial conceptual animated work are reflected in this new video single.
Unlike many previous Echo Us videos, animated elements are minimal. If You Can Imagine was created predominantly from short macro photography and macro video clips.
The Windsong Spires, Echo Us’ sixth full-length album is available on CD and all digital services and has been featured in diverse publications �" from RockHard Italy, to Orkus! Magazine (Germany), to Echoes Radio (NPR) in the United States.
If You Can Imagine is now available for viewing on Echo Us’ Youtube channel.

The Kris Barras Band have taken their gloves off and are steamrolling into the end of the year with their anthemic brand new song, Dead Horses. The songs' foundation-shaking roar is them at their towering best. They will also be joining Kentucky heavyweights Black Stone Cherry on their upcoming 16 date September tour, followed by their biggest headline tour to date in March 2022.
"Dead Horses" throws down the gauntlet, shows the band heavier than ever, and upped their stadium-filling sound to eleven. The song is taken from their forthcoming new studio album, produced by Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Bury Tomorrow, Monster Truck), which will be released in 2022 by Mascot Records (Black Stone Cherry, Fozzy, Crobot).
