Maribou State are Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, the UK duo giving electronic music a much-needed shot of soul. Since 2011, they’ve established themselves as major players on the global dance music circuit, melding a genre-fluid range of influences into a distinctly organic sound, redefining downtempo electronica for a new generation. They’ve become a hugely acclaimed live act who’ve performed roadblock shows from Glastonbury to the Sydney Opera House, as well as back-to-back sold-out UK, EU and North American tours. Over three albums – including a new, forthcoming release – Maribou State have honed a delicate balance of intricacy, intimacy and electronic expansiveness. Their vast sonic universe pulls on UK club music, vintage soul and evocative samples to create something completely unique.
