Ecca Vandal ‘BLEACH’ Review: A High-Voltage Return to Alt-Pop

Ecca Vandal is Back, and ‘BLEACH’ is a Total System Shock

If you’ve been feeling like the alt-pop scene has been playing it a little too safe lately, Ecca Vandal just arrived to burn the house down. After a period of radio silence that felt way too long for her loyal fanbase, the Melbourne-born disruptor has finally dropped “BLEACH,” and it is every bit the high-voltage return we were hoping for.

The Sonic Reset

Ecca has always been a bit of a genre-anarchist. Is she punk? Is she hip-hop? Is she electronic? The answer is usually “yes.” But with “BLEACH,” she’s found a sweet spot that feels incredibly intentional.

The track hits you with this distorted, industrial bassline that feels like a throwback to her grit-heavy roots, but then it opens up into a massive, shimmering pop hook that’ll be stuck in your head for days. It’s polished, sure, but it hasn’t lost its teeth. It’s the kind of song that feels like it belongs in a neon-lit underground club at 3:00 AM.

Stripping it Back to Move Forward

The title “BLEACH” isn’t just a cool aesthetic choice (though the visuals for this era are already looking iconic). It feels like a metaphor for a total purge—scrubbing away the noise and the outside expectations to see what’s left underneath.

“It’s about the intensity of starting over,” Ecca says of the track. And you can hear that urgency in her delivery. She’s moving between effortless melodic runs and that sharp, rhythmic flow that makes her one of the most commanding performers in the game right now.

Why This Track Matters Right Now

In a world of “playlist-ready” lo-fi beats, Ecca Vandal remains a reminder that music should make you feel something visceral. “BLEACH” doesn’t just sit in the background; it demands your attention. Whether you’ve been following her since her self-titled debut or you’re just jumping on the bandwagon now, this track proves she’s still one of the most vital voices in the Australian scene.

The verdict? Ecca Vandal isn’t just back—she’s evolved. “BLEACH” is a masterclass in how to do “pop” without losing your soul.
