EbE404 releases ‘Flora’ maxi-single via GIVE/TAKE
EbE404 will release the “Flora” maxi-single on July 31, 2026 via GIVE/TAKE, featuring a Carthage remix of “Grass Time” ahead of the album “Cortisol.”
Minneapolis-based post-industrial artist EbE404 has released the digital maxi-single “Flora” on July 31, 2026 via GIVE/TAKE. The release gathers three versions of the track “Grass Time,” including a remix by Carthage, the project of Khost‘s Damian B. “Flora” previews the project’s upcoming full-length album “Cortisol,” due on CD and digital August 21, 2026.
Inside EbE404’s ‘Flora’
“Flora” collects three mixes of “Grass Time.” The “Anti-Fascist Disco Mix” runs through glitch, distortion and sliced melody, growing more chaotic as it plays. The “Counterpoint Mix,” remixed by Carthage, keeps the dark ambience of the original and adds analog tones, distant driving rhythms, an in-pocket bass groove and electric piano that fades into static. “Grass Time (Single Edit)” closes the release on a clearer, more luminous note.
EbE404 describes “Flora” as a step into an altered version of reality shaped by technology: “Alternate realities are a strange thing, especially when they are shaped by robots and digital warlords with increasingly obvious evil intent. Flora slips into that reality, like slowly easing into a warm bath and slipping below the frothy water. Attention is everything, it will be our end – so enjoy the distractions.”
“Flora” is the project’s first release since “Dark Ice Days” in July 2023. The maxi-single arrives three weeks ahead of “Cortisol,” the artist’s next full-length for GIVE/TAKE.
About EbE404
EbE404 is a Minneapolis-based electronic project that keeps its members anonymous, working across post-industrial, dark ambient and IDM territory built around modular synthesis, Ableton Live sound design and field recordings. The project cites Coil, Nurse With Wound and Lustmord as reference points.
EbE404 released its debut album, “Tedium and Loss,” on GIVE/TAKE on October 16, 2020. The second album, “Inrush,” followed on May 6, 2022; Side-Line spoke with EbE404 that year in a Click Interview, where the project described “Inrush” as a condensed 24-hour cycle exploring the patterns and routines of daily life, built with modular hardware and Ableton Live’s CV Tools and Max for Live devices. A remix album drawing on that record, “Ripple,” arrived August 19, 2022, followed by “Dark Ice Days” on July 21, 2023.
“Flora,” out July 31, 2026, marks EbE404’s first new material in three years and leads into “Cortisol,” the artist’s next full-length, set for CD and digital release via GIVE/TAKE on August 21, 2026.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
