Their eponymous debut EP, follow-up aptly titled \"Bedroom Tapes\" and debut LP 'Ugh' were originally released on Sola Terra, and won international plaudits, major radio plays and performances at Gilles Peterson's We Out Here, London's Jazz Re:Freshed, EFG London Jazz Festival and Latitude.

With just a two- track recorder around, the band would lay down whole takes, one instrument at a time, then immediately transform the overdub, digitally reshaping the sound with the same mischievous, adderall-energy as the musical performance. This call-and-response between performance and production spurs an instinctive development – with musicality, player and producer egging one another on through naturally developing phases and textures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tru Thoughts","offers":[{"title":"Black | 12\" | x2","offer_id":50529951514955,"sku":"1166723","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/8d6cf268-77e0-48f7-8579-66083de31bc1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728068664"},{"product_id":"ugh","title":"Ugh","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing the aptly-named \u003cstrong\u003e'Bedroom Tapes EP'\u003c\/strong\u003e comes '\u003cstrong\u003eUgh'\u003c\/strong\u003e, a collection of tunes from \u003cstrong\u003eEbi Soda\u003c\/strong\u003e's first ventures into professional recording.
