Echo Park is the third full-length album by the British Rock/Pop band Feeder. It was released on April 23, 2001 (see 2001 in music) on The Echo Label. At the time of Echo Park's release, Feeder had finally broken the mainstream with their smash hit single "Buck Rogers", which reached #5 in the British Charts.^[1] Feeder also released two more singles, "Seven Days In The Sun" which reached #14, and "Turn" which reached #27.^[1]

At the end of 2001 the album shipped 150,000 in the UK and therefore gained a Gold certification,^[2] and went Platinum in the UK during August 2003 due to the extended commercial recognition of "Comfort In Sound".^[3]

A fourth single, "Just A Day", was released subsequent to the album. It had originally been a b-side for "Seven Days In The Sun", and became Feeder's best-selling single, reaching #12 in the charts^[1] and regularly ends their live sets.

It is the only album Feeder have released to see one of it's singles reach #1 in any major sales or airplay chart worldwide.^[4]
