about

Spare, cinematic and moving, “Take My Hands At Night” is the hard-won first single from the Wellington-based singer-songwriter Ebony Lamb’s forthcoming solo album. In just under four minutes of vivid dream-pop gestures, Ebony gives us a window into the soundworld she conjured up over 2021 with co-production, instrumentation and engineering assistance from two of New Zealand’s most celebrated artists, Bic Runga and Kody Nielson.

The accompanying music video to this first single was shot on 16mm film by Director Ezra Simons (Earth Tongue, Brett McKenzie) and filmed on locations throughout Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. Made with the help of NZ on Air, and the exceptional crew of Frances Carter (Lighting and Photography), Lara Daly (Makeup) and David Argue (Assistant), this first single brought out the strong visual dynamic so perfectly suited to capture Ebony’s artistic vision that is “Take My Hands at Night”

Take My Hands At Night is a top twenty finalist for the APRA Silver Scroll Songwriting Award 2023.

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

Take my hands at night, I am all yours
I can’t recognise me, but I’m all yours

See her, she’s a surface skater
See the way he holds her, just above the ground

Oh’ searching for you
See the way we split in two
I can do this now

Oh’ falling for you
Hoping that we make it through
I can do this now

O’ searching for you
See the way we split in two
I can do this now

O’ falling for you
Hoping that we make it through
I can do this now

Take my hands at night, I am all yours
I can’t recognise me, but I’m all yours
