Echo Chamber

A 13 track crossover jazz album (46m 23s) — released October 28th 2016 on Deep Heads

After the HUGE success of his critically acclaimed, debut album "Augmented 7th, Ash Walker is back with his 2nd studio album, entitled "Echo Chamber"

Support on the singles leading up to album has been nothing short of fantastic, hearing the likes of Don Letts, Gilles Peterson, Gideon Coe, Tom Ravenscroft (all BBC 6Music), Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45's), Lefto, Joe Kay (Soulection) & Zeb Samuels all spinning tunes on regular rotation.

The album continues a similar feel and energy of "Augmented 7th", but you can hear Walker has settled into his "sound" with confidence and that all important swagger.

As you would expect, Jazz sits at the very core of the album with Trip-Hop beats providing the tread that holds it all together.

The balance of instrumental tracks & featured vocals is a perfect mix. It focuses heavily on musicianship and instrumental recordings, but features a total of 4 tracks with vocals, all provided by close friends from Ash Walker, that will be names to keep an eye on for sure.

Ash Walker has been compared with the likes of Flying Lotus, Massive attack, U.N.K.L.E, DJ Shadow & Nightmares on Wax, to name some artists you might be familiar with.

Here is some information on some of the musicians Ash Walker has collaborated on for this album.
