Ecovillage are an two man Psychedelic/Shoegaze band from Sweden. They have both been involved with different bands over the years. In 2005 they went on an journey together which changed their view on music radically. In 2006 they formed the band Ecovillage...with this band everything fell into its right place and it just clicked from the beginning. They felt that Ecovillage was something special so they put everything else on hold and dedicated all their time into their music. Ecovillage music have often been described as euphoric, melancholic, ethereal and very psychedelic. Members of the band: Emil Holmstram and Peter Wikstram. The album features Jonas Munk aka (Manual/Darla Records), Jakob Skott (Syntaks/Benbecula Records/Ghostly International) and Sherlie Matthews (Motown Records).

'When I first heard Ecovillage, I couldn't believe my ears. Sometimes it sounds like radiofriendly boyband pop filtered through shoegaze aesthetics, other times it comes across as psychedelic music - not so much in sound as in effect. This really is Dream Pop in the original sense of the term, but still sounding strangely timeless. Somehow it's the kind of personal sounds that could only originate deep in the flourishing swedish nature, far away from hipsterness and fancy musical trends. Killer album!' -Jonas Munk/Manual

'Fantastic album! Can easily imagine this doing really well!' -- Ulrich Schnauss
