Info for Ebi Soda

Brighton-based quintet Ebi Soda’s debut record is a journey into sound. Drawing inspiration from jazz originators and combining their own coastal flavour and creativity creates a fresh energetic style.

The tracks ebb and flow over a foundation of rhythm, slipping into smooth guitar riffs, swelling trombone and drum sections. Ebi Soda create a big band feel, spilling tight grooves and innovative brass lines through their live shows and recordings.

The record is a sonic journey into modern jazz composition.

The digital release features additional remixes as Ebi Soda meet Ash Walker in the Echo Chamber.

Ash Walker is a London-based DJ, producer, curator, bandleader, and intergalactic sound-dealer. A world-renowned crate-digger of soul, jazz, R&B, latin, dub and roots, Ash has spun around the world. Here he transports the frenetic energy of Ebi’s self titled EP into a roots laden dub ride.

Ebi Soda

Ebi Soda
With a cynical, somewhat industrial approach to jazz which could only be informed by the greyness of the streets of Britain, Ebi juxtapose the skies of their surroundings with an illustrious approach to crafting sound over their abrasive beats, conveying colour and dreariness simultaneously. As staunch anti-traditionalists, they thrive on this idea of contradiction, seeming more inspired by the atmosphere inside a rave than the sounds heard inside Birdland. Their only debt to typical jazz being to attempt to innovate and experiment at every opportunity.

Created through following a particular feeling among the crew, each Ebi track is a sign of the times and contains the essence of their state of mind when recorded. Jazz has long been trademarked by its pre-conceived misconceptions about the typical listener, but within the past few years these boundaries have been crushed thanks to bands such as Ebi Soda. Their dynamic range and broad appeal are bringing the genre back to life, a modern day jazz renaissance. Absolute killer!
