...what the fuck Ebb & Flow means? This was used in reviews for some of my favorite albums (Caribou, Electrelane).

I've always heard or read the term but I realized, I don't know what the hell it means. :oops:

From dictionary.com:

ebb and flow

A decline and increase, constant fluctuations. For example, He was fascinated by the ebb and flow of the Church's influence over the centuries. This expression alludes to the inward and outward movement of ocean tides.

Tides ebb & flow. Come and go. Relatively slowly.

It does seem as if The Church has been around for centuries, yet they originally formed in the 1980.

It's just two common words. It's not like you're wondering what somebody meant when they offered you a hot carl - it's like asking what does up and down mean?
