ECHO DROP: CANADIAN DUO SHATTERS ROCKSTAR NORMS WITH DEBUT ALBUM “HINDSIGHT,” RELEASES FIRST SINGLE

The parents of two lead the way for a new era of rockstars, where wellness and relationships take center stage and creativity knows no age limits

June 10, 2024

In an ever-evolving musical landscape, Echo Drop, comprised of Canadian duo Sean and Jillian Mitchell, emerges as a groundbreaking force, challenging rockstar norms with their uninhibited debut album, Hindsight, set to drop in Spring 2025. 

Released on the couple’s independent label, 3JS Records, the album stands as a testament to the beauty found in the unplanned symphony of life. Initially slated for a 2020 release, the project resulted from a four-year odyssey of self-discovery and sonic experimentation amidst the responsibilities of first-time parenthood during a pandemic. The album’s moniker, “Hindsight,” says it all: an encapsulation of Echo Drop’s resilient narrative of their relationship and their creative metamorphosis, offering listeners an immersive experience of the duo’s musical journey. 

Described as a “post-Pill Alanis meets Jessie J,” the duo’s alchemy and connection show them making detours into a signature sound as they explore themes of love, heartbreak, self-realization, and human equality. Offering a unique blend of synth-pop and anthem rock, each track on the 9-song album unveils the duo’s matured artistry and synergy, successfully blending Jillian’s soulful ‘90s-rock edge with Sean’s world-inspired, groove-oriented drumming. This dynamic fusion is encapsulated in their very name—Echo for voice and Drop for drums—a powerful declaration of their sonic identity.

The couple’s harmonious synth-rock fusion is a refreshing nod to the power of creative metamorphosis, refreshing enough to attract the golden touch of 5-time Grammy Award-winning engineer David Darlington (Sting, Whitney Houston), the UK’s No1 independent mastering engineer Pete Maher (U2, Katy Perry), and mentor Emm Gryner (Juno nominee, David Bowie). The album features three planned singles, each bringing its own unique flavor to the musical table. “Right Here,” the album’s lead single, released in June 2024, sets the tone for the musical journey. “Let it Burn,” the follow-up single that infuses a touch of hip-hop and is set to release in early 2025. In spring 2025, fans can look forward to the acoustic and introspective “All You Need,” a song that showcases the duo’s depth and vulnerability. 

Beyond their music, Echo Drop transcends the confines of traditional rockstar culture, emerging as a beacon of authenticity in an industry saturated with excess and toxicity. Sean and Jillian, now proud parents of two, redefine the narrative, showcasing a refreshing blend of music and genuine connection. Beyond the studio, their insightful blog and podcasts (Jill – Voxsana, Sean – Drum Geek),usher in a new era of rockstars—one that gracefully navigates the intricate dance between fame, wellness, and family. In a world where rebellion often takes the spotlight, Echo Drop is a breath of fresh air, proving that there’s more than one path to harmonize success and genuine connection.

QUOTES:

“We’ve always believed that music is a timeless language, and with Hindsight, we wanted to speak a narrative that goes beyond the expected notes and beats. This album is not just a collection of songs; it’s a testament to our journey—both as musicians and as parents—and perhaps, it will inspire others to live fully and love hard.” – Jill Mitchell, Echo Drop

“It’s more than just music. We’re redefining ‘rockstar,’ putting wellness and family at the forefront. What we define as family and our relationships within it is a part of the music and given high priority; our kids, our marriage, everything. Nothing moves forward in our music unless everyone is happy. We hope that through our music and actions we inspire our fans to examine how society fits them and not the other way around.” – Sean Mitchell, Echo Drop
