Ecos y viscous

Black and white portrait of a young man in profile, wearing a beanie, earrings, and layered necklaces, with a striped shirt, against a plain background.

Ecos Y Viscous (pronounced 'echoes-e-viscus') began in 2015 as the musical project fronted by multi-instrumentalist, Heber I. Alarcon.

After years of multiple lineup changes, many of which included his cousin, Aleks Ortiz, on the drums and friend/frequent collaborator, Benjamin Hadley on guitar, the band fnally disbanded in early 2016.

Today, EYV remains as the solo project of Heber I. Alarcon-Ortiz with the occasional guest musician adding elements on songs.
