Echo Plum releases "Feels Like Home"

originally published: 07/31/2025

Hailing from Ocean County, Echo Plum are the fast-rising indie rockers shaking up the Asbury Park scene with their lush soundscapes and magnetic presence. Known for their dreamy guitar layers, soaring choruses, and nostalgic lo-fi textures, Echo Plum has quickly gone from local secret to buzzworthy name.

Their long-awaited debut full-length album Feels Like Home, released through Mint 400 Records and ByrdHouse Records, is a cinematic, emotionally rich journey that fully showcases their dynamic range—produced, mixed, and mastered by fellow labelmates Grasser, no less. It's heartfelt, hazy, and packed with those intoxicating, hit-repeat moments that define a new generation of indie rock.

Formed under the name “Sol” before rebranding as Echo Plum in April 2022, the band wasted no time making their mark. Echo Plum’s signature blend of fuzzy, chorus-soaked breakup anthems and glittering pop sensibilities places them right at the forefront of New Jersey’s indie rock revival.

With each release, they deepen their sonic identity, capturing both the heartbreak and hope of youth with striking authenticity. Whether you're discovering them for the first time or already singing along in the front row, one thing's clear: Echo Plum is the real deal—and now is the time to get on board.
