 Art d'Ecco - Desires 

Emerging from the Gulf Islands off the coast of British Columbia, West Coast rocker Art d'Ecco creates a sound that leaves listeners intrigued and wrapped up in the mystery of it all. His lyrics and sound reflect current obsessions and his performance persona demands attention. 

His newest single, Desires, is featured on the album In Standard Definition, one that takes listeners on a journey through the glory days of celebrity to the current obsession that we see now. Specifically, Desires introduces a style that “salutes the aging, out-of-touch performers from soap star to game show host,” according to Art d'Ecco.
