Ebi Soda is formed of VVilhelm on trombone, Conor Knight on guitar, Hari-Lee Evans on bass, Louis Jenkins on keys, and Sam Schlich Davies on drums.

Honk If You’re Sad explores “psychedelia, dissonance, serene ambient passages, tough, neck-snapping beats and lush textures, all underscored by the intersection of jazz, hip hop and electronic music,” shares the label.

Coinciding with the announcement, Ebi Soda has shared new single ‘Chandler’, featuring Yazz Ahmed.

Honk If You’re Sad follows the release of their debut album, Ugh, on Sola Terra Records.
