It's not really all that clear why Antonio Elia Forte emigrated from the sun-laden Lecce in Italy to a compact bedroom in London's Whitechapel area - not simply an abode but also an improvised recording studio. Perhaps it was Forte's way of invigorating his creativity, and the resulting debut Echopark album is a suitable reward for his efforts, bearing reminiscence to the likes of Animal Collective and Youth Lagoon.
