New Music: Ebbb: London Trio Explores Unraveling Relationships in "Manners"

Ebbb are a London-based trio made up of vocalist Will Rowland, synth specialist Lev Ceylan, and live drummer Scott MacDonald. Since forming in 2023, they’ve carved a distinct niche with a sound that smashes together ambient, industrial, electronic, and pop elements—prompting them to describe their style as “Brian Wilson meets Death Grips.” Their debut EP All At Once (2024) landed them a deal with Ninja Tune, leading to collaboration and touring opportunities with acts like The Smile and PVA. Known for explosive, immersive live performances, the band has racked up praise at festivals such as Brighton Psych Fest and gigs supporting Model / Actriz. 

“Manners”:Dropped on July 10, 2025 via Ninja Tune, “Manners” is Ebbb’s sharpest, most refined single to date. Over just 3 minutes and 26 seconds, the track builds from pulsing synth rhythms into soaring, emotionally resonant peaks. Lyrically, it explores the duality of modern relationships: the nostalgic longing when apart ("I kinda wish that you were here…") contrasts sharply with the sting of unresolved conflict when together ("watch your sharp tongue…"). Critics have praised “Manners” for its “moody” yet potent blend of electronic drive and lyrical depth, cementing Ebbb’s reputation as innovators in UK alternative music.
