Ebbb
“Leading the line is ‘Himmel’ – Will Rowland’s vocal is so dazzlingly gorgeous that even the sun is forced to blink. And then its companion ‘Swarm’ floats and a-flutters a la Ladytron before grounding itself in an intoxicating techno ambience.”

Despite being together for barely a year, Ebbb 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 that the group describes as “Brian Wilson meets Death Grips.” While their EP All At Once, released for Ninja Tune in June, might feel experimental, loose, and unpredictable, it’s also deeply considered, taut, and absolutely flab-free.
