7ebra Shares Daybreak

Not too long ago, 7ebra returned with the masterfully infectious “Normal Song,” their first new music since releasing Bird Hour; it had this incredible missing link between modern pop and Broadcast. Today, we get the other track from that 7″, with this newer track offering up a brew of slow-burning organ notes and drifting vocal melodies. It’s clear that the two have continued building their vocal interplay, which shines on this one, letting guitar notes wrap around each little note, with a faint heartbeat working as the main beat. You’ll get to hear this song on repeat if you grab a copy of the new Normal Song/Daybreak 7″, out July 5th via PNKSLM.

7ebra Release Done with the Day Video

When I caught 7ebra during SXSW part of their charm was the dynamic between the twins; I hadn’t really heard anything aside from the lead single, so the performance was more impacting. But, with a new single here, I’m starting to realize what my subconscious already knew. When you press play below, the song seems to begin fairly simply, a vocal and a strum pushing on; there are some slight backing vocals too. Just as you start to settle in, the duo begin to add in their little textural flourishes like the notes from the keys hiding just beneath. A steadied beat enters too, and the whole song begins to swell and wrap around you, as if you’re an insect caught in a web, with the band playing the role of the spider, wrapping you in their silky pop. Need to be enchanted? Bird Hour is out May 5th via PNK SLM.

7ebra Share Lighter Better Video

During SXSW I was fortunate to catch 7ebra at one of their first shows; the band was a bit frazzled as the set-up was one of those challenging venue moments, but their performance still had this incredible charm that supersedes any nervousness or sound issues. Here you get a video performance with tons of candid footage of the twin sisters, but more importantly, you can hear the captivating sound they’ve created with minimal instrumentation, mostly working with Mellotron and guitar/vocals. Listening, you feel as if there’s much much more to the group, as they’re capable of building this amazing depth by layering the songs and adding harmonies in just the right places. Bird Hour will be released on May 5th via PNK SLM.
