EbE404 – Inrush (Album – Give Take)
Genre/Influences: IDM, Experimental, Industrial.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: “Inrush” is the second full length album by American project EbE404. The album comes two years after the debut opus “Tedium And Loss”.
Content: The album contains 8 tracks which are mainly driven by sophisticated and intelligent electronic sound treatments. IDM, Industrial and Ambient influences are coming together in an overwhelming sound production. The last part of the album becomes more Experimental-like.
+ + + : EbE404 took me by surprise by its mature, and high-tech composition. The tracks are driven by overwhelming sound blasts at one side and subtle bleeps and noises at the other side. The tracks have been progressively built up reaching a total sound climax. There’s a perfect balance between the atmospheric side of the production and the sophisticated electronic structures. The first 5 songs are amazing pieces revealing the genius of EbE404.
– – – : I’m not saying the last 3 tracks are less of interest, but more into Experimental music.
Conclusion: EbE404 isn’t the most familiar name, but I can only, but highly recommend discovering “Inrush” which is a true masterpiece.
Best songs: “Slipping By One”, “Zoom Team”, “Dayset”, “After Zoom Team”.
Rate: 9.

About EbE404
EbE404 is an American electronic project that keeps its personnel undisclosed. Asked about the people behind it, the project told Side-Line: “The personnel are not particularly relevant or interesting in isolation. They are just elements of what ultimately winds up being the experience of taking in the work.”
The project debuted with the full-length “Tedium And Loss” and returned with “Inrush”, eight tracks issued by the American label Give/Take, which mixes IDM, industrial and ambient.
Shortly after “Inrush” appeared, the project spoke to Side-Line in the Click Interview with EbE404 about its working method and about placing the listener at the centre of the project.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
