If I was to tell you there's a musical artist on the scene with an air of mystery and an enigmatic style, you'd of course be snapping at my heels to find out who I'm on about. From beneath dark bobbed hair and charismatic maquillaged eyes, Art d'Ecco conveys the look of a person born out of time. But Art, it seems, has found his niche - a modernity, a beguiling look and a musical style that reflect his obsessions. On stage the character of Art d'Ecco takes a stance and steps into a theatrical role with total conviction.” 
- Princess Julia Adding substance to immaculate style, Art d’Ecco’s latest creation, In Standard Definition, commands attention with every turn. Like channel surfing on an old television set, watching grainy black and white movies or flickering slideshows starring a cross section of humanity, each all-analogue vignette holds up a mirror to pop culture and explores the curiosity of entertainment. Lyrically blurring fact and fiction, it swaggers from the glory days of La La Land’s golden age to today’s obsession with celebrity and its hold over us all. Joining forces with producer/engineer Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, New Pornographers, Destroyer) in ocean-side studio The Hive, In Standard Definition sees d’Ecco packing his heftiest punch yet. Through Stewart’s vintage set up, a decoupage of authentic sounds was recorded to 2-inch tape on a 50-year-old console, forming a musical reflection of the era it evokes.
