About the album

Ebril (it's pronounced "ehh-BRILL") was born Huda Al-Hamami in Iraq, grew up in Amman, Jordan, from the age of two, and moved to Canada at nine. She was studying environmental studies at McMaster when she made In Copula almost entirely alone in her bedroom in Hamilton, Ontario, mixing folk, ambient and shoegaze with field recordings from outside her window and from the streets of Amman. The title is a Latin biological term for connection.

It came out in January 2025 and might have stayed a well-kept secret, except "Stranger In You" took off that summer, inspiring more than 240,000 videos online. Universal Music Canada signed her that November, and this first vinyl pressing followed. Songs like "Sugar Maple", "Nerjis" and "Peace Is Not A Word" move from dusk to dawn, and she sums the whole thing up neatly herself: "I built the world I needed." Hamilton, it turns out, makes more than steel.
