Cyclic State is the not-quite-solo project of multi-instrumentalist Bryan Rieck.

With irons forged in the late 90s and early 2000s, Echoes pivots off the works of bands like Hum, A Perfect Circle, and Sunny Day Real Estate updating the “wall of sound” concept to an obvious conclusion. Guitarist, Bryan Rieck, is unapologetic about his influences, pushing and modernizing his sound, all the while penning a love letter to his own musical past.

Adding the vocal layer provided by London-based songstress Kate Glock, Rieck’s work comes to a completion, melding the dualities of soft and hard. Glock’s role is also a play on the old with the new to bring a new texture.
