Recapturing the vitality and resonance of a musical form that's often reduced to chocolate box sentimentality, Echoes of Home enters the wondrous sonic world of three exceptional Swiss vocal artists. Erika Stucky, Noldi Alder and Christian Zehnder all push the boundaries of Alpine folk to create an eerie and beautiful new style of music. Their universe of sound extends far beyond what we would describe as singing, using the powerful mountain landscapes as a stage to merge the influences of local folklore with the sonic backdrops of modern life.
