Ideal for fans of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Motown. Echo Bass Records proudly presents the latest single from Ashley Stacey, “Archipelago,”. Blending the gritty charm of indie rock with the infectious melodies of Britpop, Ashley Stacey delivers a fresh yet nostalgic sound that’s distinctly it’s own. “Archipelago” captures the spirit of introspection and adventure, weaving evocative lyrics with driving guitars and an anthemic edge.

Ashley says of the track: “In it’s simplest form, this is a tale of lost love. The age old story of one leaving to pursue better things at the cost of their partner’s heartbreak. In this instance, the protagonist reminisces whilst dreaming of what could have been, oversees on the idealistic exotic island. Let the sounds of this warm, modern Motown toe tapper soothe your soul and whisk away to the Archipelago!”
