One of the first posts I wrote on this site was on the release of Kingdoms in Colour. That was way back in 2018 – the last time electronic duo Maribou State released an album. So it is pretty exciting that they are back with a new album, Hallucinating Love, which will be released on 31st January 2025. The process has been a long one in part due to a serious illness suffered by one of the duo. Chris Davids has required brain surgery due to a rare condition called a Chiari malformation. That they are now releasing new music and announcing live dates is great news for the band and their fans.
7 years is a mighty long time in music, but from the sounds of the first two singles it may have been worth the wait. Both Blackoak and Otherside are unmistakably Maribou State, once again featuring Holly Walker’s beautiful vocals. Excitingly, Andreya Triana is a featured artist on a yet to be released track, which feels like another match made in heaven.
Tickets for their Valentine’s Day gig at Ally Pally go on sale this Friday.
