Echo Orbiter

Echo Orbiter formed in Philadelphia in 1996 when brothers Justin Emerle and Colin Emerle recruited Jeremiah Steffen to flesh out some of their songs. The band proceeded to perform in the area while perfecting their unique sound. In 1999, Echo Orbiter released an album of their strongest demo songs, entitled A Moment in Lift That's Right. 2000 saw the release of Laughing All the While on Looking Glass Workshop. The album was recorded by producer Brian McTear at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia. It was released by the Looking Glass Workshop, a record company owned and operated by Justin Emerle, as well as the name of a community of Philadelphia artists. Their third release, Quest'-ce Pour Nous, was released in early 2002. The band gained recognition with their appearances on various compilations on labels such as Happy Happy Birthday To Me, Planting Seeds, Bumblebear, Tremolo Feedback, and Looking Glass Workshop, among others. The band continues to ceremoniously celebrate their enthusiasm for music and they remain active in the Philadelphia music community. Their upbeat style of modern playful and chaotic pop continues to turn heads. ~ Stephen Cramer, Rovi
