Unfolding with the logic of a dream, ‘My Daughter My Sister My Son’ is underscored by a shuffling, nocturnal rhythm with nostalgic music-box melodies and sweeping synthesisers. Ebony sings with a husky, honey-soaked croon, reflecting on the importance of close personal connections and dreams amidst the shared impermanence of the world around us. ‘My Daughter My Sister My Son’ was played and produced with two of New Zealand’s most celebrated musicians, Bic Runga and Kody Nielson (Opossom, Silicon, UMO), who bring a distinctive edge.
EBONY LAMB - ALBUM
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 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.

lyrics
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
“taken somewhere else, maybe somewhere close to Twin Peaks'
Ebony Lamb writes with a poetic voice
and a vivid, surrealistic intimacy. The New Zealand singer-songwriter and photographer released three critically-acclaimed albums with her former band before embarking on a solo body of work, produced by Bic Runga & Kody Nielson and released on Nadia Reids boutique label - Slow-Time Records....more
Rich, deep, powerful songwriting and waves of pure emotion, I adore all Nadia Reid's albums. It's an honour to be on her label, and to have watched her perform enthralling every crowd. EBONY LAMB
Bic Runga is a legend in Aotearoa NZ, incredible songs "Close Your Eyes" is a Stand Out track I've listened to on repeat for the last few years, made with Kody Nielson, a killer combo. EBONY LAMB
Tiny Ruins & Hamish Kilgour created possibly my favourite album of all time here. Loose and intentional, lyrics & aesthetics made a world I have on high rotation, as a touchstone, as an ideal. EBONY LAMB

The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing. Jason Kemp

Powerful vocals and affecting lyrics, this is magnificent stuff. Thank you for sharing your art with us Reb!
Clearly, I am late to the party, but happy to be here now and will listen quietly from my corner so as not to break the spell. theUtmost
