Review: Ebi Soda - milk in my console / when pluto was a planet and everything was cool (Tru-Thoughts)

"Off-kilter jazz crew Ebi Soda presents singles 'when pluto was a planet and everything was cool' (out now) and 'milk in my console' ".

Last year when I was chatting to Tru-Thoughts head honcho Robert Luis at We Out Here Festival, corto.alto were the hot jazz collective (and subsequently their album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize "Album Of The Year" 2024) and Alina Bzhezhinska & Tulshi's album 'Whispers Of Rain' hadn't even had it's artwork printed (see review HERE): put all that together and add some OST in the mix you've got some of the application and vibe for the forthcoming album, 'frank dean and andrew' by Ebi Soda.

Citing speghetti westerns and 'Blade Runner' this "off-kilter" jazz is in the Cinematic Orchestra OST envelope. 

No idea why the singles' titles are all in lower case as is the album title (Ed. I used to work will a bloke called Frank Dean and they named a building in after him in Camden, Dean House!) but I won't be surprised if 'frank dean and andrew' is shortlisted for the Mercury Prize "Album Of The Year" 2025!
