Alongside the news, the band have also released their first official music in the form of double single ‘Himmel’ \/ ‘Swarm’. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe five-track EP marks the band's first output for new label Ninja Tune — home to trailblazing artists like Young Fathers; Black Country, New Road; and yeule — a fitting platform for their genre-eschewing sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout releasing a single song, the band — comprised of producer Lev Ceylan, vocalist Will Rowland and drummer Scott MacDonald — have built a storied mythology on London’s underground live circuit which spawned the likes of Squid and black midi. Commanding an atmosphere at gigs that So Young Magazine has described as \"an almost religious experience\", the melding of Ceylan’s engulfing and enthralling production and beats, with Rowland’s endlessly capable vocals, along with MacDonald's added stomp, quickly resulted in the band being one of 2023’s word of mouth live sensations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite being together for barely a year, the band have already landed on something truly singular. Fusing pulsing rhythms, immersive electronic production, sparkling melodies, layered vocal harmonies and beats that veer from ambient to industrial, the result is an idiosyncratic hybrid of sounds. One that the group describes as “Brian Wilson meets Death Grips.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EP's singles 'Himmel' and 'Swarm' are an invitation to explore the contradicting forces which have driven their remarkable rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I like that it can't be pigeonholed,” says Lev Ceylan, speaking of the forthcoming EP. “We really do love plot twists – where it just explodes into something completely different.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpening track 'Himmel' is a song that builds from an ethereal soundscape before a pneumatic, drill-like beat enters; Rowland's voice glides with grace over the grinding rhythm. \"That song encapsulates the two sides of the sound we have quite well,\" says Rowland. \"Having the more ethereal, dreamy vocals but with that undercurrent of the low rumblings. It's kind of like heaven and hell.\" These layered elements are a meta depiction of Ebbb's singular songwriting process in real time. ‘Swarm’ unfolds in an almost hypnotic groove with Rowland’s voice carrying the track with poise, before it once again takes on an unpredictable journey, resulting in a joyous burst of experimental pop music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":45366234054815,"sku":"ZEN12675","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/all-at-once-main.jpg?v=1736246322"},{"product_id":"zendnl327","title":"Ebbb - Shallow Hits","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe scope, variety and ambition of Ebbb’s debut album Shallow Hits is clear from the off. “Come Alive” whirs into being quietly before morphing into a sun-kissed, radiant piece of calypso-esque electronic pop; “Now You Know” feels destined to soundtrack sun-drenched festivals this summer; “Shallow Hits” is as deft and detailed as it is big, bold and euphoric; while the wonky yet propulsive charge of “Side On” sounds like a drum ‘n’ bass club and church choir combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fervent eclecticism and unpredictable restlessness underpins the album. Latterly the record dives into the moody technoid textures and multi-layered harmonies that characterised their debut EP All At Once - exemplified by ‘Youth’ and the closing track “I’m Not Enough” that lands an emotional gut punch to an album that is already littered with them. However there’s a remarkable coherence and identity that underpins the album. Ebbb are exploring far and wide, deep and vast, yet they do so via an approach that remains unmistakably them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShallow Hits is an album bursting with ideas, textures, rhythms, detail and emotion.
