Maribou State – Fresh Beats, New Releases & Tour Info
If you love smooth electronic sounds that blend organic instruments with crisp beats, you’ve probably heard of Maribou State. The British duo, made up of James Wade and Herbert White, has built a reputation for dreamy, downtempo tracks that work as background chill or full‑on listening sessions. In this guide we’ll break down their latest releases, where you can catch them live, and quick tips on how to get the most out of their music.
New Music and Collaborations
Maribou State dropped their newest single, “Feel It Like a River,” in early June. The track features vocal work from vocalist Hannah Ellis and mixes subtle harp tones with a driving bass line that gradually builds into a euphoric chorus. Fans say it’s the perfect soundtrack for sunset drives or a relaxed weekend brunch.
Besides the single, they’ve announced a collaborative EP with the Grammy‑winning producer Bob Rossi. The EP, titled “Echoes in Motion,” will contain four tracks that explore deeper house influences while keeping that signature Maribou organic feel. Early teasers show a mix of percussive world‑music samples and airy synths, hinting at a fresh direction without losing the vibe that made them popular.
All the new music is streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer. If you use Spotify, hit the “Follow” button on the Maribou State artist page – it will automatically add new releases to your library. For YouTube fans, the official music videos often include behind‑the‑scenes snippets that reveal how the duo layers live instruments with digital production.
Live Shows and What to Expect
Maribou State’s live shows are known for immersive visuals and live instruments. Their upcoming European tour kicks off in London on September 15 at the O2 Academy Brixton, then moves through Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam. Each set includes live saxophone, drum loops, and occasional guest vocalists, giving the same polish as the studio tracks but with an energetic, spontaneous feel.
Tickets are selling fast, especially for the Berlin show at the Festsaal. If you’re on a budget, look for “early bird” offers that usually appear a month before the event. For fans who can’t travel, many venues will stream the performance on platforms like Twitch or YouTube Live, often with a chat room where the duo answers fan questions after the set.
To make the most of a Maribou State concert, bring a pair of comfortable headphones (if the venue allows) to catch the subtle layers in their mix, and arrive early for the best view of the visual art installations that sync with the music. And don’t forget to check the official website for merch drops – limited‑edition tees and vinyl often accompany tour dates.
Whether you’re discovering Maribou State for the first time or you’ve been a longtime fan, the combination of fresh releases, dynamic live shows, and easy streaming options makes it simple to stay connected. Keep an eye on their social channels for surprise drops, and enjoy the mellow yet uplifting soundscapes that define Maribou State’s unique style.
