Maribou State - Portraits

LP
Counter Records (2015) EU 

Hotly tipped duo Maribou State are set to reach their most impressive apex yet in 2015. Newly signed to Counter Records (an imprint of Ninja Tune) they will release their debut album 'Portraits', preceded by 12' single 'Rituals'. - An irresistible marriage of deep, resonant guitar licks and dishevelled synths riding upon loping breakbeats and overlaid with trademark deconstructed vocal dubs, Portraits sees Chris Davids and Liam Ivory exemplify the sort of rare but precious sonic harmony that has made their name so far: equal parts emotive instrumentation and sturdy rhythms, stark soundscapes and rich textures.'Rituals' picks up where Maribou State left off in 2013. The first single from the duo's forthcoming album 'Portraits' is equal parts emotive instrumentation and sturdy rhythms, stark soundscapes and rich textures.
