Ebony Lamb Shares Single / Video 'Drive Me Around'

Top twenty finalist for the 2023 Silver Scroll Award, Ebony Lamb continues to tease her self-titled debut album, out on 20th October via Nadia Reid’s Slow Time Records. The Pōneke-based songwriter today reveals her latest single and video for ‘Drive Me Around’, directed by Shyam Patel and Jacob Munro, made with the support of NZ On Air. It features the producing chops of Aotearoa icons Bic Runga and Kody Nielson (Opossum, Silicon, UMO), with additional collaboration from old Eb & Sparrow bandmate Gram Antler.

The soulful singer leans into vintage sounds from Mellotron flute, marching percussion and restrained guitar as she twirls through urban locales in the accompanying clip — including the Woodward Street pedestrian tunnel, Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa (The National Library of New Zealand) and the overbridge of Aurora Terrace Motorway. Lamb will soon commence a seven-date tour from Lyttelton before slowly making her way up north to Paekākāriki with bandmates Phoebe Johnson and Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa. Don’t miss spotting Lamb or any other spring lambs on tour with these details below…

“I'm thinking about one of my oldest best friends (in the song). We grew up together in Hawkes Bay, and he really looked out for me in my formative years, driving us all over the place, spending time together, experimenting, and experiencing life. We don't see each other anymore, but I still think about him that way.”
