Pseudo Echo

 

 

Pseudo Echo were an Australian band whose first release was a lush synth album with a sound similar to Ultravox or Visage. It was a minor hit in their home country and was quickly followed up by a similar-sounding album, Love An Adventure, which became a huge hit. Their record label then made them re-record the catchiest tunes from those 2 albums in a more direct pop rock style, adding a cover of the '70s hit Funky Town. The result was released internationally as Love An Adventure and became a huge hit.

Their next album, Race, leaned more into the pop rock sound but the label did no promotion for it outside their native land and they broke up a couple years later. They reemerged nearly a decade later, returning to a synth pop sound and have played their homeland sporadically ever since.
