Mindless Echoes started as an idea, an attempt to capture moments in the reality around us. What started as a project, a musical story of life-cycle: 12 chapters consisting of the 12 steps in a person perspective of life, soon became much more. This idea formed into an album and was entitled Rebirth. The original album was written and composed by childhood friends - Oded Kahn, former member of the Israeli Rock band Pai Mei, and Omri Luzon, former member of the Israeli Metal band Tears of Israfel.
By the end of 2007 recordings of Rebirth started at Sound Music School in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Soon enough, it was apparent that the result was less than satisfactory due to production issues. After a short break it was decided to restart the entire project and form a band by searching for more professional musicians. Shortly after drummer Efi Tubi joined, a few months later bassist Erez Shermer, also a former member of the band Pai Mei and Limor Ballas, joined the band. Due to artistic differences Efi left the band and after a long process of auditioning, Adi Magal - former drummer of Low Profile, joined the band, forming the current line-up of Mindless Echoes.
After few small local shows it was decided to work towards a bigger goal, and at 2009 Mindless Echoes started working on new recordings, 4 out of the 12 songs, enclosed as a self-produced EP. Along the basic line up the ambitious production included Erez on Upright Bass, Oded on Guzheng (Chinese Harp) and a series of hired professionals for backing-vocal choir, female solo and violins. The recordings took place in three of the finest studios in Israel, according to their proficiency –
Gal-Kol Studio, Bardo Studios and Etztrubal Studio, and were made by recording engineer Roei Luster.
Aiming towards international audience, the mixing took place in Studio Mega in Sweden by sound engineer Johan Örnborg and mastered at the same place by Christian Silver. The EP album was released at December 2009 and now the band is working on a tour both in Israel and Europe.
