ake Rabinbach and Shannon Esper are best friends, ex-lovers, who live two blocks away from each other in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and sing together in the Echo Friendly. They have released one single "Same Mistakes" with Cantora records and are preparing to release their debut full length in late spring on their own LightningBoats imprint. Recorded at High/Low studios in Memphis, TN with Jake Vest and Greg Faison, the record will chronicle their turbulent relationship in a moody song cycle equal parts digital age correspondence and anthemic pop. Live, The Echo Friendly play as a 5-piece band in the New York area
