Oh my daughter, my sister, my son Oh my god, my heart, my love All these dreams See them all come at the downtown mall Friday might, she's coming to a crawl Two-toned yellow Orwell’s pen Sinner and the thief At it again Here she comes now and she’s always called Never stop talking, it’s getting old The arrogance Apathy Far off leaners Conspiracies Coming in deep Calling in stoned Falling to a fever For someone Oh my daughter, my sister, my son Oh my god, my heart, my love Keep me dreaming Keep me dreaming Keep me dreaming Keep the dream

A captivating work of impressionistic memories, observations and intimate confessions, Ebony wrote her debut album while coming into prominence as an in-demand portrait photographer within New Zealand’s contemporary literature and independent music scenes. The release comes five years after her alt-country band, Eb & Sparrow, amicably parted ways in 2018.

Recorded on vintage analog studio gear and mastered to tape, EBONY LAMB finds producers Bic Runga and Kody Nielson (Opossom, Silicon, UMO) 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.

BIO
Ebony Lamb writes with a poetic voice and a vivid, surrealistic intimacy. The New Zealand singer-songwriter and photographer turns the minutiae of everyday life and the defining memories that stay with us into a rich melange of indie-folk, jazz, and ambient pop. The Wellington-based artist spent her formative years as a traveller, mother, and worker, eventually co-founding the alt-country band Eb & Sparrow in 2010. Drawing comparisons to Gillian Welch, Cat Power and Neko Case, Ebony released three critically-acclaimed albums with the band before embarking on a solo career under her own name. EBONY LAMB is a watershed work from a genuine talent coming into her own.

The album’s first single ‘Take My Hands at Night’ is nominated for the 2023 APRA Silver Scroll Award.
