unafraid to push boundaries, ephemerals third album, egg tooth, explores new directions: their modern soul and r&b songs now tinged with flavours of jazz, afrobeat, psychedelia and bluesy cinematic orchestral arrangements. with influences ranging from nina simone to kate tempest, steve reich to alice coltrane, egg tooth sees songwriter hillman mondegreen and singer wolfgang valbrun combine beautifully, marrying direct and honest lyricism with powerful vocal delivery. it s an album with recurring themes of rebirth, love, world politics and philosophy in a varied and eclectic collection of songs - an eclecticism perhaps a reflection of ephemerals diverse backgrounds: the singer wolfgang is a new yorker living in paris, the writer in nottingham, the sax player lives in france, while the keys, trumpet and rhythm section are in bristol, sussex and london.

nice price deal !!! ephemerals debut on helena treats us to three deep originals, offset by a characteristically storming xdb remix on the flip. molecular and cirrus combine gritty textures, half-heard phrases, pulsing bass and cyclical synth and acid lines into the kind of meditative sound experience familiar to fans of plan b or underground quality – but here, and especially on ammonia, overlaid by the distinctly dubby feel of drizzly afternoons spent at ephemeral s home in the midlands. xdb, true to form, grabs the latter track and sticks on some serious afterburners, setting controls for a revved-up voyage across the surface of some distant planet.

ephemerals new album chasin ghosts is the follow up to their breakthrough album *nothing is easy* and looks set to further build on the fast growing uk and international fanbase that saw them tour their debut extensively, including shows at key festivals like glastonbury, bestival and mostly jazz and score a sync in hit us tv show homeland. pressing on transparent vinyl.

das neue album der ephemerals, -chasin ghosts-, ist der nachfolger ihres erfolgreichen albumdebŸts -nothing is easy-, mit dem sie u.a. auf dem glastonbury festival, bestival und mostly jazz live performt haben. obwohl die band mit ihrer 7-mann-besetzung einer klassischen soul-band gerecht wird, haben sie auf -chasing ghosts- elemente aus jazz, rock und hip hop mit nachdenklichen, aber auch energiegeladenen texten kombiniert. ephemerals sind hierbei nie verlegen auch die dunklen themen anzusprechen, lassen dabei aber nie das licht aus den augen, ganz gleich ob sie Ÿber (verlorene) liebe, depression, weltpolitik oder philosophie reden. prŠsentiert wird das album mit shows in london, amsterdam, brŸssel, berlin und paris gefolgt von einer europatour im januar.
