Singing and acting (like an absolute dork).

Happy Bandcamp Friday! | October 2026

Hey, music lovers!

As the lead singer and songwriter of these Crimson Echoes, I wanted to drop a quick note that it’s one of the last few Bandcamp Fridays of 2026, in which 100% of the proceeds from track and album sales go directly to the artist!

Great timing, too, because our brand new single, “Linger,” just released last month!

Check out the lyric video, which I had a time handwriting in Procreate and editing the exported video. I’m really proud of this one! When I say I want to write for video games, this is kinda what I mean:

Hope you enjoy the music, and at the very least, enjoy this reminder to support the artists you love directly—whether it’s through music/merch/tickets, streaming their music, or just sharing it with your community. Generally, just share the things you love with the people you like–in all of this [gestures widely at the fall of empire], all we have is each other ❤️

Rock on! 🤘🏽

–Elisa

Ed. Note: I’ll be back to blogging semi-regularly soon, which is the same thing I said last year, and the year before that. Watch this space and see how far I get this time! 🤭
