Echo Tower | EP | Out Now
Share
For the past several months, I've been quietly building toward a much larger project.
Today, I'm excited to finally share the first chapter.
Echo Tower is officially out.
Rather than making this another standalone EP, I always envisioned it as the opening scene of what's coming next. These four songs are the emotional preamble to my next full-length album, The Aviator and the Hourglass. Before that story could begin, I felt like I needed to spend some time exploring the uncertainty that exists before any real change.
There are moments in life where you know you've outgrown something, but you don't yet know what's waiting on the other side. You're caught somewhere between who you've been and who you're becoming. That's the space these songs were written from.
Across Running Away From My Heart, Eyes Closed, Alone Out Here, and Want It That Way, I found myself returning to the same ideas: longing, emotional distance, self-reflection, and the realization that sometimes the hardest thing we can do is stop running long enough to face ourselves.
Musically, this EP continues a path I've been on for several years. I've always been drawn to songs that leave room to breathe—records that feel expansive without becoming crowded, and stories that unfold slowly instead of demanding immediate attention. That approach carried into every stage of making Echo Tower.
Like many of my recent projects, the record was created alongside my longtime collaborator and producer, Dvani. We've spent years refining a creative process built on patience, experimentation, and trusting the songs to become what they want to become rather than forcing them into a deadline.
Making music independently has also taught me to appreciate the long game. Every album, every EP, every song becomes another piece of a much larger story. Dreamland captured one season of life. Gypsy and Somewhere After Dark explored others. To me, Echo Tower feels like the beginning of something new.
More than anything, I wanted these songs to ask questions instead of rushing to answer them.
The rest of that story arrives with The Aviator and the Hourglass.
For now, this is where it begins.
