""This song was pulled out of thin air in the studio while most of the album was written and ready to record beforehand. We only had the lyrics finished for this one. But once we started messing around, the music wrote itself in minutes, and we all knew we had something special.""
""We always intended for the songs on this album to tell a fictional story based on real events. Some of this material dates back a decade to when Liam and I first met in college. But by the time we hit the studio, we had a feeling it would be more like a historical document.""
Ekko Astral announced The Beltway Is Burning, their second album, due April 22 via Topshelf. The album was written and recorded by Jael Holzman, Liam Hughes, and Miri Tyler, who will be leaving the band. The record includes the 2025 single "horseglue" and the new single "lil xan goes to washington." The band describes the songs as a fictional story based on real events, with some material dating back a decade. Ekko Astral have tour dates through June including headlining shows, their Liberation Weekend II festival, and support slots for Mclusky and Agriculture, with specific New York and June shows listed.
