However while the easiest choice would have been to disband and call it a day, Echobelly decided to take their career into their own hands, leaving their record label and management company and starting up their own label, Fry Up Records, doing everything themselves.
People Are Expensive is it's second release.
Unfortunately, this success ironically would count against them, as their label, sensing that this band could be a big earner for them, demanded more hit singles. Now they're back, doing working on their own terms. For the first time, their new album was produced without the interference from label accountants and other meddlers, allowing the band complete and utter freedom. And you can tell by the sound of the record. The band have taken a more experimental angle, injecting a sense of space into their songs, while still retaining Sonya's careful melodies and Glenn's tuneful guitars.
