Back with the anticipated follow-up to 2022’s Paradigm Shift it’s billboard charting producer @EBSOUNDS (Eric Butler Jr) with “SHADOW HILL”! With an ever-expanding sound palette, this release contains multitudes, from BPMs to vibes to instrumentation all steeped in Eric’s natural musicality when it comes to the arrangements and balance.
On SHADOW HILL, EBSOUNDS plays with tension and release impeccably, using sparse vocals, effected melodies and ominous textures to establish the setting - with brighter hooks and moments to treat the ear and keep things moving. Cinematic and emotive, it is a wonderfully crafted and exciting volume to offer this week.
