PXE (pronounced "pixie") is an EP by Swedish-British singer Ecco2K, released on 31 March 2021 through Year0001.
Production and composition
A surprise album, it was accompanied by a video from artist and animator Freddy Carrasco, where Ecco meets up with an alter ego named Echo while hanging out on a transmission tower. The visuals were inspired by anime and the dialogue box from the Pokémon games. The album's title was taken from the idea of "pixie music". Unlike his previous album E, PXE was produced entirely by Ecco2K. It was the first project he finished upon returning to Sweden. Ecco2K said the album is "more about sincerity, being raw and unfiltered," adding "it's about being okay with the way that I am."
Reception
In a 7.0/10 review to Pitchfork, Ben Dandridge-Limco wrote that, "with glitchy stops and starts that attract and repel, PXE sounds like an exciting and exploratory new direction", and that the album is "a testament to Ecco2k's evolution as an all-around artist that it feels like there could be even more to say." The Fader staff considered "In the Flesh" the 96th best track of 2021.
