ECHO PILOT RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SOPHOMORE ALBUM NOTION—OUT NOW
Nashville, TN — 2/28/25
Nashville-based alt-rock band Echo Pilot is thrilled to announce the release of their sophomore album, Notion, available everywhere today, February 28, 2025. The album—a bold evolution of their sound—showcases the band’s growth as songwriters and performers, blending raw energy with introspective lyricism and melodic hooks.
Produced by Echo Pilot and mixed/mastered by Brian David Hardin (known for his work on over 120 gold or platinum records), Notion is a 9-track journey through themes of growth, maturity, and the pursuit of individuality. Drawing from their own challenging and rewarding life experiences, Echo Pilot has crafted an album that is deeply personal, yet universally relatable.
“This album is a reflection of where we’ve been and where we’re headed,” says Ryan Van Abeele, Echo Pilot’s vocalist and guitarist. “We poured everything into these songs, and we’re so proud to finally share them with the world. Notion is an album for anyone who’s ever struggled, triumphed, or dared to dream. It’s a record for the people—to inspire, motivate, and remind you that you can create your own reality.”
From the anthemic single “Above The Skies” to the heartfelt ballad “Gonna Be,” Notion captures the band’s dynamic range and undeniable chemistry. It’s an album designed to make you feel inspired, motivated, rejuvenated, excited, amped up, ready to party, and ready to take on life full throttle.
To celebrate the release, Echo Pilot will host an album release show on March 8 at The ‘58 at Eastside Bowl in Nashville. Tickets are on sale now at https://shorturl.at/fYhXD. Fans can expect an electrifying night of new music, fan favorites, and the high-energy performance Echo Pilot is known for.
