From the critically acclaimed 2018 album release SEEING THINGS by Eb & Sparrow
"a genuinely show-stopping sound" James Belfield - NZ Listener
"the band is bigger, better, sharper, darker" Simon Sweetman - Off The Tracks
"Eb and Sparrow’s Seeing Things is a beautifully made, richly atmospheric record. The playing is subtle and understated, and has been captured and rendered to something close to perfection by producer and engineer Brett Stanton" Nick Bollinger The Sampler RNZ
"an impressive vault upward into a different and more rewarding musical landscape and ethos" Graham Reid - Elsewhere
"The band is quietly brilliant; lapsteel, brass and strings provide texture, but at the heart of the record is Lamb’s indelible, soul-stirring vocal performance" Jeremy Quinn - Otago Daily Times
lyrics
4.THE TIMBERS
SWEET HONEY OF DECEMBER
I’M THE HARD ONE TO PLEASE
I FEEL THAT THE TIMBERS
OF THESE TREES, ARE GOING TO LEAVE
STRIKE ON A MATCH FOR ME
PUT OUT MY BAD COMPANY
I’M THE RECKLESS ONE BABY
AND I KNOW, THAT YOU WANT ME
SHAKE IT BABY, SHAKE IT LIKE YOUR GOING TO RAIN
EVERYBODY HERE, WANTS TO KILL THEIR PAIN
SHAKE IT BABY, SHAKE IT LIKE YOUR GOING TO RAIN
EVERYBODY HERE, GOT A LITTLE DREAM
SWEET HONEY OF DECEMBER
I’M GOING TO STAND IN OUR TREE
I FEEL THAT THE TIMBERS, GOING TO CARRY ME
STRIKE ON A MATCH FOR ME
PUT OUT MY BAD COMPANY
I’M THE RECKLESS ONE BABY
AND I KNOW, THAT YOU WANT ME
SHAKE IT BABY, SHAKE IT LIKE YOUR GOING TO RAIN
EVERYBODY HERE, WANTS TO KILL THEIR PAIN
SHAKE IT BABY, SHAKE IT LIKE YOUR GOING TO RAIN
EVERYBODY HERE, GOT A LITTLE DREAM
For G.A.

Best Alt Country band of all time. You can find EBONY LAMB the Princess Slayer over here www.ebonylamb.com with her new music coming to a town near you real soon x
If Suzanne Vega started this decade she might have sounded like this, good acoustic guitar song observations with a novelistic eye, and a support band that embellishes but never overpowers the music. Found this artist only this year thanks to a Milk Records compilation, which proves they work. Favourite track: "How Much", simply superb, but also check "Sparklers" and "Kore Waits in the Underworld". agutterfan
This collaborative project offers a fresh twist on classic indie sounds of the early 2000s with hooky choruses and quirky instrumentation Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 13, 2024
A revved-up reinterpretation of traditional Portuguese music, exploring various folkways through the lenses of jazz, pop, and electronic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2024
Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig
