Ebbb formed in Bristol, a city that has long fed the kind of restless sonic curiosity heard throughout this debut, from the post-punk underground to the trip-hop era that put the city on the global map. Landing on Ninja Tune, a label with a long history of championing artists who refuse easy categorization, feels exactly right for a band drawing on such a wide net of influences without belonging squarely to any of them. The scope, variety and ambition of Ebbb's debut album "Shallow Hits" is clear from the off. 'Come Alive' whirs to life quietly then morphs into a sun-kissed radiant piece of calypso-esque electronic pop. It is an album bursting with ideas, textures, rhythms, detail and emotion. A bold and singular debut record from a group who truly do not sound like anyone else right now.The Latin-flavoured '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.The band have already caught the ears of Thom Yorke / The Smile (who invited them to play a support slot). Recent live highlights have included sold out headlines at London institutions The Moth Club and The Windmill; a massive 18-date European tour with Shame and UK dates with FCUKERS, Mary In The Junkyard, The Voidz and Porridge Radio. EU festival highlights include Pitchfork Festival, Mutations, Reeperbahn, Truck, End of The Road, Latitude, Left of The Dial and more."A truly thrilling, game-changing force in UK indie" - NME"Ebbb seamlessly mix seemingly opposing styles into something that flows without friction" - Rolling Stone"Combining choral and orchestral roots with a love of grindcore, new wave, dream pop and techno" - The Quietus"Beautiful, boundary-less and bohemian" Wonderland Tracklist: 1.
