The renowned KEXP studio in Seattle became the intimate backdrop for a captivating performance by Maribou State in February 2019. The British electronic duo, known for their lush soundscapes and soulful grooves, brought a full live band to translate their intricate studio productions into a vibrant, organic experience. This session offers a perfect snapshot of their artistry, blending electronic elements with live instrumentation to create something truly special.
The setlist for this performance was a carefully curated journey through their sound, featuring standout tracks like 'Feel Good' and 'Glasshouses.' A particular highlight was the rendition of 'Nervous Tics,' which saw them joined by frequent collaborator and vocalist Holly Walker, whose voice adds a layer of ethereal beauty to their music. Hailing from London, Chris Davids and Liam Ivory have carved a unique niche in the electronic music world, and this KEXP session demonstrates why. It’s a showcase of masterful musicianship, where every synth pad, bassline, and percussive hit is delivered with precision and feeling, creating an immersive atmosphere that draws the listener in completely.
