In this episode of Producer Points, Justin sits down with Ehren Ebbage — the producer behind some of the most emotionally precise records in indie pop right now. Credits include Lizzy McAlpine, Corook, Myles Smith, Maddie Zahm, sombr, Jacob Collier, FINNEAS, and more. Every record he touches has a balance that's hard to put into words — clarity, real engineering precision, and genuine emotion, all working together without stepping on each other.
🎶 Song deep dives:
"blankets" by Corook — how the song came together, bass sound, synths, the descending counter melody, vocal processing, and what stayed untouched
"ceilings" by Lizzy McAlpine — simplicity as power, acoustic guitar choices, strings, vocal capture, and why the master feels so pushed in all the right ways
🎛️ We explore:
Growing up in bands, assisting Joe Ciccarelli, and finding his voice through sync work
Building long-term creative relationships with Lizzy McAlpine and Corook
Balancing engineering precision with emotional instinct
Vocal chain, mic choices, and why dry and raw usually wins
Keys-first workflow and knowing when to stop adding
