about

Despite growing up in the same picturesque village in Hertfordshire, Chris Davids and Liam Ivory aka Maribou State customarily ignored each other at school, but discovered their shared passion for music when they both went to University.

Since then they have steadily built a glowing international reputation via a string of well-loved EPs and a fistful of remixes (including Kelis, Ultraísta, Fatboy Slim and Lana Del Rey) since 2011. Plaudits from the electronic press have flowed thick and fast alongside support from radio heavyweights: Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Annie Mac, B. Traits, Pete Tong and Gilles Peterson amongst others.

The past 18 months has been a glorious blur, with weekends dedicated to touring – the duo have zipped around the UK, Europe, the US and Australia – whilst keeping a strict 9-to-5 work ethic in the studio during the week. This has enabled them to record their finest work to date, in their self-built studio the 'Shack In The Back'. It’s hard to pick out highlights, but a road-blocked set at Glastonbury was a particularly special milestone for the duo.

Intrigued by the dynamics of electronic music for the dancefloor as much as with the richness and human quality of live instrumentation and song-craft, they have worked tirelessly to evolve and forge a unique, compelling and deeply soulful marriage of the organic and the synthetic, showcased on their forthcoming debut album.

about

Maribou State London, UK

Beginning life in 2011 as a project between Chris Davids & Liam Ivory, Maribou State released a string of EPs & singles before the arrival of debut album "Portraits" propelled them to the world stage, 2018’s stunning "Kingdoms In Colour” album followed. Now they return with “Blackoak” — a classic slice of signature Maribou sound. It acts as a reintroduction to the world and a statement of intent. ... more

This track (Kite Hill Theme) is another level emotional rollercoaster for me. The very beginning with the TV sounds, reminds me of my childhood. The initial feeling is being unsafe and vulnerable, then it leads me to a feeling of hope and resolve. Safety. The damaged little child in me is thankful for music like this. I've been listening to Catching Flies for years and this is why! brooklynmeyer
