Ecco2k Releases Echo, His Second Full-Length Album
Ecco2k, the project of Swedish multidisciplinary artist Zak Arogundade, has released Echo, his second full-length album, via his own label, 9th. (Ninth), according to an official announcement dated November 10, 2026, from Orienteer. The 12-track record was six years in the making, written and recorded across a nearly uninterrupted period of travel. The notice does not list an embargo.
The album includes the recently released songs "Aldehydes and Ketones" and "Sky Burial," both of which arrived with music videos shot during that travel. Those two tracks also appear on a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl issued in four versions, each bearing a single letter, E, C, H, or O, that together spell the album title. KAZI Magazine covered "Sky Burial" here. Arogundade is the sole vocalist on Echo, and all tracks are produced by him or alongside longtime collaborators Gud, Whitearmor, Felix Lee, and Mechatok.
As part of Drain Gang, alongside Bladee, Thaiboy Digital, and Whitearmor, Ecco2k helped shape a tightly followed sound and visual style over the past decade. On Echo, the announcement says he builds on that foundation while moving further into his own territory. The record follows a vagabond character who wanders the world carrying a broadcast antenna and a crown of flowers, searching for signals in a landscape of beauty and indifference. The announcement ties that image to earlier motifs: wind turbines on his debut album E, from 2019, and electrical lines on the 2021 EP PXE.
The official tracklist is "Aldehydes and Ketones," "Echo," "Industrial Strength," "Fæmous Vagrant," "Plume," "Cuban Heel," "French Exit," "Loveless Animal, Lawless Criminal," "Encore," "Held Overnight," "Swimming in Fountains," and "Sky Burial."
