Echo: as in reverberation, as in a repetition of a sound caused by reflection, as in a vestige of the past.

Boom: as in a sound that commands attention, as in an increase in importance, as in the generation that raised the members of the Farewell Drifters.

Echo Boom, the band's third album, displays a growing maturity both musically and thematically, as the band considers the pressures and expectations placed on their generation by the previous one, and the ramifications of some of the vague self-actualization advice passed on by the boomers to their latchkey kids. That sentiment is expressed in "Punchline," the lead track from Echo Boom. Britt, who wrote the song, juxtaposes earnest seriousness ("I don't know what it is that fills my head with doubt/I just wanna shine the light that's trying to get out") with the idea that life for his generation often seems like some cosmic joke, and that success is akin to successfully delivering a punchline. The chorus ends with the plea to "Let me deliver, let me deliver." Many of this generation find connection through virtual community, which leads to an increasing inability to find substance in relationship. Bevill says, "Facebook and Twitter and mediums like that have their place and they're fun, but it's not a place where friends can tell real truths and find real depth. You can't find true hope and encouragement there."
