Maribou State is a British electronic music duo known for their rich, atmospheric productions that blend downtempo electronica, soul, and global influences. Formed by Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, the duo emerged in the early 2010s, crafting a signature sound that fuses intricate beat work with organic instrumentation and evocative vocal samples. Their breakthrough came with Portraits (2015), an album that established their warm, textural approach to electronic music, featuring standout tracks like "Midas" and "Steal" that seamlessly wove together deep house, trip-hop, and indie elements. With Kingdoms In Colour (2018), they expanded their sonic palette further, drawing inspiration from their travels and incorporating field recordings and world music influences into tracks like "Feel Good" and "Turnmills." Maribou State's music thrives on a balance between electronic precision and human touch, often collaborating with vocalists such as Holly Walker to bring an emotive depth to their productions. Their live performances elevate their sound even further, with a full band setup transforming their layered studio work into immersive, dynamic experiences.
