"Weld for Birmingham"

“Not every band in the lineup has announced so far, but there are already some highlights to focus on…. New Orleans’ Bent Denim and Oxford, Mississippi’s And The Echo both make the kind of dream pop that Ryan Gosling could drive around listening to moodily in movies.” – Weld for Birmingham -


"Secret Stages Festival"

“There’s a temptation to say that the en vogue synthpop of contemporary indie music is a passing fad, but I’ll tell you what: And The Echo’s music would be as apt a soundtrack for a lonesome driver passing under streetlights and starlight in modern-day L.A. as it would for doomed lovers on a misty, haunted moor in a period piece. It’s gorgeous, cinematic stuff, full of undulating beats, shimmering synths, and Pennington’s own lovelorn vocals.” – Walt Lewellyn, Secret Stages 2014 Telling Tales -


"The Local Voice"

“And The Echo have a keyboard heavy sound, reminiscent of an 80s pop band, not unlike A Flock of Seagulls or Duran Duran, or perhaps even The Human League. But with Morgan Pennington’s vocals, this new local group also reminds me of the more modern sounds of bands like Metric or The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.” – Newt Rayburn, The Local Voice - Newt Rayburn


"New Mississippi Music: And The Echo debut"

“The self-titled release is a project long in the works of Oxford-based singer Morgan Pennington and producer / multi-instrumentalist Winn McElroy that hits by delivers a shimmering and dramatic blend of pop unlike anything else in the state.” - Jacob Threadgill


"The Echo Effect"

“Their sound owes much to synth pop from the 80’s, without sounding anachronistic. Behind the synthetic exterior is the familiar satisfying heart and soul of catchy, quality pop song writing.” - Toni Overby
