Ekos Quartet - Can't Stop Thinking Of That Valley (Trip Hop/Electronic)

It was when ForTune gave some music experimentations on classical and hip-hop sounds to The Ant, and he immediately proposed him to form “something new”. After working together on music and lyrics during 2004, they tried to apply trip-hop sounds on Greek lyrics, forming the band “In&Out” in 2005, with the addition of a jazz/blues female singer and Stelx, Ekos Quartet’s guitarist at present, but the results of their effort turned out to be unsuccessful. The singer left the band peacefully, and ForTune, The Ant and Stelx found the perfect replacement, Eskimint, who had been working on trip-hop vocals by herself. They formed Ekos Quartet in November 2005 in Greece , and recorded their first song, “Fortune’s Lake”, in January 2006. This gave them the courage and the inspiration to start expanding their musical horizons, mixing downbeat, electronica, funk, jazz breaks, alternative rap, and chill sounds, all based on a tripping background and mood.
