Montre Echo: The Near Forever

Spanning 8,000 miles and 33 years of spacetime from Bangkok to New York to Vancouver, MONTRE ECHO is a new genre-bending collaboration between electronica sorceress Mary Ancheta and jazz pianist Geoffrey Keezer. Shapeshifting and merging elements as diverse as a 5-year-old Keezer gleefully noodling on an Arp synthesizer, Ancheta's vast palette of unusual beats and found sounds, Keezer's bass driving a late 90's downtown alt-rock band and artifacts from his latest recording "Aurea", MONTRE ECHO grabs your ears and levitates above the mundane and noisy hordes of mash-ups and remixes.

"MONTRE ECHO may well be the 'missing link' electronica fans have been secretly craving... they boldly go where even Squarepusher and Sigur Ros fear to tread." - Graham W. Hall, AllAboutJazz.com
