Ebbb announce debut album, Shallow Hits
London trio Ebbb have revealed the details of their upcoming debut album, Shallow Hits, and shared new single "Now You Know".
Formed by producer Lev Ceylan, vocalist Will Rowland and drummer Scott MacDonald, Ebbb made their debut in 2024 with their first EP, All At Once. "Now You Know" follows previous single "Home Ground" released in March, and arrives as a summer-ready pop track.
Speaking about the song, Rowland says: “‘Now You Know’ started life as a playful, riff-led instrumental. Each layer brought the song to life - first the vocals with lyrics that depict obsessive love, and then the punchiness of the live drum groove, which really tied the song together in the studio. The song is the most playful and optimistic on the album.”
Two years on from their debut EP, the band are moving on from the self-described “Brian Wilson meets Death Grips” sound that they introduced. Shallow Hits, produced alongside Tom Stafford, is noted to be more restless and eclectic. “I don't think it fits anymore,” Ceylan explains of their old description. “That was us trying to explain the extremes in our music, but at this point it's so much more than that. It's expanded and it’s bigger – it’s multi-faceted. For each idea, or each bit of vision we had, we wanted to deliver it in a very maximalist way.”
