THE ECHO BUREAU Issues a Timely Anthem for the World Stage with New Single FREE

[Shropshire, UK / Dallas] – In a world where personal and global liberties feel increasingly fragile, transatlantic  synth-pop powerhouse The Echo Bureau has returned with their most poignant release to date: "Free." 

Moving beyond the dance floor escapism of their previous hits, "Free" is a driving, cinematic track that pulses with  urgency. With freedom under siege in headlines across the globe, The Echo Bureau delivers a sonic rallying cry— reminding listeners that the spirit of independence is worth fighting for. The song combines the duo’s signature  analog warmth with a harder, industrial edge, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and critically modern. 

A Soundtrack for the Current Moment 

"We didn't just want to write another love song," says  

the band in a joint statement. “It is about people, and  

relationship, but there’s also a broader perspective at  

play. Looking at the world stage, from the erosion of  

rights to the global conflicts we see on the news every  

day, 'freedom' isn't just a word anymore—it's a  

necessary action. 'Free' is our response to the tension  

everyone is feeling right now." 

About The Echo Bureau The Echo Bureau is the "official" collaboration between two veteran musicians who  bridge the Atlantic to create authentic, synthesizer-driven pop. 

• T. Mancuso (USA): A Texas-based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Mancuso is a known figure in the  "SaxWave" sub-genre and a member of the synthwave outfit VIC-20. His background in jazz, rock, and  new wave brings a melodic, soulful complexity to the band's electronic foundation. 

• Iwan Bedford (UK): Bringing the British pop sensibility to the mix, Bedford is a seasoned songwriter and  producer whose work spans multiple bands and solo projects in the UK scene. His mastery of vintage  synthesis and production gives The Echo Bureau its polished, radio-ready sheen. 

Staying true to their ethos, The Echo Bureau confirms that "Free" is 100% human-created. Writing, recording,  and production are handled entirely by Mancuso and Bedford, ensuring that the human soul remains at the center of  the machine.
