Ebony Lamb

Debut outing from the Pōneke / Wellington-based New Zealand singer-songwriter Ebony Lamb. Released on Nadia Reid’s Slow Time Records.

It was made in collaboration with two of New Zealand’s finest modern musicians, Bic Runga and Kody Nielson (The Mint Chicks, Unknown Mortal Orchestra), as well as her long-time collaborator, Gram Antler.

Recorded on vintage analog studio gear and mastered to tape, Ebony Lamb finds Runga and Nielson placing Ebony’s distinct, fragile-but-firm voice within a cinematic confluence of jazz, folk, psychedelia, alt-country and ambient pop. Written over the last five years while coming to terms with the realities of a changing world, themes of gratitude, loss, acceptance and aspiration run through the album like a river, especially in the nocturnal groove of ‘My Daughter My Sister My Son’ and ‘Brother Get Me Home’.
