I just ended up finding an album called “Big Sur Drift (Ocean)” by Ebb. Turns out it is literally 9 tracks (32 minutes and 28 seconds) of recordings of the sea. What I was actually looking for needed an extra “b” on their name. (And I did actually listen to all of Ebb, hoping something interesting might happen - to save your pain, it didn’t…)
Ebbb - Shallow Hits (2026)
Very interesting debut this one, hard to categorise, dance in places but with indie styles and some nice vocal harmonies. I liked it a lot, so will get more plays for sure.
By the way, I always read the Norman Records round up on the weekly releases - always nicely written, and sorts the wheat from the chaff as far as I am concerned. Their album reviews are generally very accurate. Also worth signing up to their emails, too, as they are very informative if not a bit too frequent.

I dislike Roger Waters for his attitude and for his behaviour in general with Pink Floyd, but 'Amused to Death' is, IMO, his best solo recording so far.
