E (Ecco2K album)

E (stylized as e) is the debut studio album by British-Swedish singer Ecco2K. It was released on November 27, 2019 under the YEAR0001 record label.

Background
Unbeknownst to fans at the time, two songs off the album, 2018’s “AAA Powerline” and “Don’t Ask” were released more than a year before the album’s announcement.

The lead single for the project, “Fruit Bleed Juice”, was released on November 25, 2019, only a few days prior to the release of the album.

Composition
E is Ecco2K’s most experimental body of work to feature his voice, with a large amount of the songs being produced by Ecco’s close friend and long-time contributor Gud.

Tracks quickly rewind and fast-forward, sputter and start again, phrases repeated like fading memories turned over and over again in your mind. The opening track, “AAA Powerline,” is built largely around the repeated refrain “Zip-tied up/Can’t move my arms.” Ecco2k’s lyrics twinge with anguish and self-loathing. “Every time I look in the mirror I see monsters,” he laments on “Security!,” a song built on the desire to disguise a perceived ugliness inside: “How did you get so perfect?/I wish that I was perfect.”
