In today's episode, I will interview three Taiwanese rock band: Echo of Your Soul members. In the first episode, we will discuss their musical influences and how the band came to exist. They will also share their view on their music evolution and some of their new work.

Echo of Your Soul (回聲樂團) is known for their unique mixing of modern Chinese poetic lyrics with Neo-Psychedelia and Dance Rock. The debut album “Sensual Drive” won the Chinese Pop Music Media Awards for “Best New Band” in China and the third album “Virgin Air” was nominated by Taiwan’s Golden Melody Awards as Band of the Year. In 2013, the single “Shi-mao” was a hit in China with tens of millions of play counts on QQMusic and the media praised the song as “the divine song of the new era”.

The band was invited to many international festivals, including SXSW, CMJ, and Liverpool Sound City. British press credited Echo’s live set in Liverpool Sound City “Even if you don’t understand Chinese, there is no denying that the band sound great instrumentally and have a good command of melody.” MTV IGGY has also selected Echo as one of the “15 International Acts You Must Watch” at SXSW 2015.
