Maribou State is an English electronic music duo consisting of Chris Davids and Liam Ivory. Forming in 2011, they quickly carved out a niche for themselves with their rich, emotive soundscapes that intertwine a tapestry of samples, synths, and percussion. Their style defies easy categorization, weaving together elements of downtempo, ambient, and deep house, often accentuated with soulful vocal performances and organic instrumentation.

The duo's ascent in the electronic music scene was marked by their 2015 album "Portraits," which garnered critical acclaim for its lush production and intricate beats. Followed by "Kingdoms In Colour" in 2018, Maribou State continued to expand their sonic palette, infusing global influences into their work and earning a reputation for their vibrant, eclectic sound. The album's reception led to a series of remixes, including the notable "Kingdoms In Colour Remixed," where other artists reimagined their vivid tracks. Maribou State's collaborations with artists such as Khruangbin further showcase their fluid approach to genre, ensuring their music remains a staple for listeners seeking an immersive auditory experience. With releases like "Nervous Tics" and "Turnmills," the duo has demonstrated a consistent ability to blend the atmospheric with the rhythmic, captivating a growing fan base with each subsequent release.
