About

Maribou State, the British electronic duo of Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, has carved a niche in the global music scene with their lush, genre-defying soundscapes. Blending downtempo electronica, organic instrumentation, and ethereal vocals, their music is a hypnotic fusion of house, ambient, and trip-hop influences. Since their 2015 debut album *Portraits*, they’ve been celebrated for their ability to craft immersive sonic worlds that feel both intimate and expansive. Their breakthrough came with the critically acclaimed *Kingdoms in Colour* (2018), a record that showcased their evolution into a more globally inspired sound, incorporating elements of Asian and African music. Tracks like "Turnmills" and "Feel Good" became anthems, solidifying their reputation as pioneers of emotive, cinematic electronica. Maribou State’s live performances, often featuring live instrumentation and guest vocalists, have further cemented their status as a must-see act. Collaborations with artists like Pedestrian and Holly Walker have highlighted their versatility, while their remixes for the likes of Lana Del Rey and Bicep demonstrate their broad appeal. Their 2023 single "Blackoak" marked a return to their roots, blending haunting melodies with intricate production. Currently, they continue to push boundaries, teasing new material that promises to further their legacy as one of electronic music’s most innovative acts.
