Echoes Podcast: Sunroof & Hammock, 27th Icons

Echoes Podcast: Sunroof with Daniel Miller & Gareth Jones and Hammock, the 27th Icons of Echoes. Daniel Miller ignited electronic pop with The Normal and launched the careers of Depeche Mode who were produced by Gareth Jones. There might not be electronic pop without them.  But when they get together in a new electronic project called Sunroof,  they explore the outer edges of electronic music in free, modular improvisations.  It’s a trip through electronic history into a possible future when we talk to Sunroof on Echoes. Hammock swing in as the 27th Icons of Echoes. Both Sigur Ros and Ricky Gervais are fans and they are only one of four Icons who started their career in the 21st century. This band has defined both ambient guitar and ambient chamber music over the last two decades. We’ll hear an extended profile of this influential and powerful duo.
