EBONY’s *Shades of Meridian* EP is an exploration of classic genres and disparate frequencies. Thick drums and vibrato-rich samples in tracks like “Forever” and “RIFT” meet the swirling acidic beats of “Dull Side First,” reflecting the JUNO-nominated duo’s Detroit techno influences. However, this project transcends just brooding soundscapes.
On “Break My Skin”—featuring standout vocals from James Baley—and “My Daylight,” an uplifting house gem awash in sparkling top lines and body-moving rhythms, the duo reveals its untethered versatility. These are lengthy cuts, sure to test the attention span of some listeners, but Jordan Gardner and R-oderick extend an enticing ticket to futurist fiends craving a journey.
