Finnish noiserockers Echo Is Your Love will celebrate their 10-year anniversary this year with the release of a new EP in April and a new full-length in autumn. The latter is still in the planning stages, but the EP will feature three new tracks, a remade old song and a remix by fellow Finns Boys of Scandinavia (who happen to be currently working on their own new album, something that I'm really looking forward to). The band also hopes to post all of their out-of-print material for free download (some already available here) and should have samples of the new stuff up around March.
