Dead Leaf Echo has announced its sophomore LP, Beyond.Desire, out October 13th via PaperCup Music. A follow-up to their Strawberry.Skin EP, released earlier this year, the new album was recorded at Mexican Summer's studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with legendary My Bloody Valentine engineer Guy Fixsen and Jorge Elbreht (Ariel Pink, No Joy.) The album's artwork (shown below) is courtesy of 4AD design alumnus Timothy O'Donnell.

Dead Leaf Echo plays self-described "nouveau wave" -- a dark, shimmering mix of shoegaze and layered guitar pop -- and new single "Temple" embodies their signature sound with hazy, reverb-soaked guitars and haunting vocals. You can stream the track where it premiered with  BrooklynVegan  or via  SoundCloud . Beyond.Desire once again finds the Brooklyn-based band exploring high-arching themes of maturation and growth beyond the basic needs of lust. Its tracks range from shimmering to scorching, operating as both pretty, blissed-out narratives and pure white-noise nihilism. 
Dead Leaf Echo has toured extensively over the past few years, playing festivals like SXSW, CMJ, and NXNE and supporting bands like Swervedriver, A Place to Bury Strangers, Beach Fossils, and Weekend. They'll tour in support of Beyond.Desire this fall -- see below for a list of upcoming shows.
