Vinyl LP pressing. A lot can happen in five years. For producer Adrian Quesada, the last five years included a Grammy win with his ex-band Grupo Fantasma, forming a new band with members of City and Color and My Morning Jacket under the name Spanish Gold - releasing a critically acclaimed album which then lead to an appearance on the David Letterman show. This is just the tip of the iceberg when you start to list the catalog of records the producer has worked on. The Echocentrics is what Quesada considers to be the closest thing to his solo project. He explains, "I write songs and record them on every free day I have, I have 4-5 albums worth... and send them to some of my favorite singers." Echo Hotelfeatures a few of the same artists from the first Echocentrics album including Natalia Clavier (Thievery Corporation) andTita Lima (daughter of Os Mutantes' bassist Lihminia) as well as Alex Maas (Black Angels), Austin songbird Jazz Mills, James Petralli of White Denim and singer-songwriter Bill Callahan (Smog). Echo Hotel is a direct reflection of the everyday influences the Austin, TX based Quesada found in his South Texas upbringing. With songs in Portuguese, Spanish and English, Quesada explains, "Everyone in my hometown (Laredo, TX) is bilingual, people have complete conversations with one person speaking Spanish and the other English, so to me language barriers don't really exist." The album takes listeners on a sonic journey. It's psychedelic, cinematic, at times soulful, dusty, while never losing the unique productions that make it uniquely Quesada's.
