Iann Brennan & The Echoes – set to share reflective new Single “Nothing Ever Lasts Forever” on the 6th of Feb, you can now read our review here

Iann Brennan & The Echoes return with “Nothing Ever Lasts Forever,” the second single from their upcoming sophomore album, Scars. The track leans into a more introspective sound, blending warm guitar tones, subtle rhythms, and emotionally honest vocals to create a quietly powerful listening experience.

Centered on themes of impermanence and resilience, the song delivers its message with restraint and sincerity, allowing Brennan’s voice to take the spotlight while The Echoes provide a tasteful, atmospheric backdrop. Clean, organic production highlights thoughtful songwriting and carefully layered instrumentation.

Following their previous release, “Nothing Ever Lasts Forever” offers another glimpse into the emotional depth of Scars, suggesting an album shaped by reflection and growth. It’s a compelling step forward for the band — understated, heartfelt, and resonant.

“Nothing Ever Lasts Forever” is awarded a nice 7 out of 10

Rating: 7 out of 10.
