Denver-based instrumental post-metal band ONLY ECHOES present the title track of their forthcoming full-length Born Adrift. The album isscheduled to arrive on August 14, 2026, via Braeburn Records.
“As a whole, this song really feels like you are lost at sea and fighting for your life, but that you haven’t given up yet”. Share ONLY ECHOES.
“That is kind of the idea behind the title and the theme of the album to an extent. It is a heavy emotion, but not a claustrophobic one. It’s the idea that this fight is difficult and it’s going to stay difficult for the rest of the journey, but that it is still worth taking”.
ONLY ECHOES deliver “Born Adrift” with a striking impact. Wave after wave of intense heaviness brings the track’s concept to life. Rhythmic shifts, catchy lead hooks, and uplifting moments not only provide movement but also a sense of anticipation. Shadowy passages feel weighted and inescapable but they are not dwelled upon without hope for too long.
Born Adrift Track-list:
- Born Adrift – 5:48
- Tempest – 8:41
- So Tightly Bound – 6:12
- Inter – 2:05
- Steps Ahead Of Drowning – 7:09
- Shimmering Death – 5:14
Alternating between light and shade, ONLY ECHOES deploy carefully curated changes in the track’s pace as well as through their instrumental layering. The structure of “Born Adrift”, while exploring periods of turmoil and relief, is emotionally complex as the music rises and falls before meeting an abrupt end.
