Stephen Becker unveils lead single ‘I Held an Echo’ from upcoming album
A prominent figure in New York’s indie rock scene, Stephen Becker has released the lead single from his forthcoming album Middle Child Syndrome, set to drop on October 25 via Record Euphoria.
‘I Held an Echo’ stands out as a defining track from Middle Child Syndrome, encapsulating the album’s core themes with a blend of indie-psych influences reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens’ Age of Adz and Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest. The song explores the struggle of seeking answers in the present while yearning for guidance from the past, set against a backdrop of glitchy production that mirrors the dreamlike and often disorienting experiences of life in New York City. The lyrics delve into the challenges of overcoming self-doubt and breaking free from oppressive patterns, encapsulated in the line, “I felt my body turn to wind then become solid/I woke up mumbling.”
‘I Held an Echo’ is out now.
