About Me

this instrumental quintet has evolved from dub reggae traditions towards a more open-eyed approach to genres while maintaining the fundamental effects-laden aesthetics of "the dub." their self-titled debut album, released on seedknowledge records and distributed in europe by glitterhouse, turned international heads with their electro-dub soundscapes. now, the long-awaited sophmore release entitled "psalms of the forgotten" has been a year in the making and is in essence a realization of the groups current metamorphosis. its as much king tubby, as it is ennio morricone. it is as much neo-classical, as it is post stoner rock. EBS is also currently working on a ennio morricone tribute album with Friends of Dean Martinez to be released on glitterhouse records. thank you for feeling it.
