[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Now forging ahead through their multi-album suite started with 2009’s The Tide Decides, Echo Us continues to introduce intricate, evocative and new sounds for ambient rock music. Set for release March 20th 2012, Tomorrow Will Tell The Story lifts its tale from automatic writing channeled by its creator, Ethan Matthews.

This became not only the inspiration for, but direct material lifted for The Archaeous of Water suite. This experience led me to discover Kabbalism and esoteric works such as The Seth Material along with other forms of spiritualism.”[/FONT]
