Maribou State - Truths

Review by Stephan Gardner

Maribou State's latest album, Truths, is an immersive journey into the depths of electronic music. The duo's signature sound, which blends soulful vocals with intricate beats, is on full display throughout the record. From the opening track, "Native," which features the haunting voice of Holly Walker, to the closing notes of "Varkala," Truths is a cohesive and captivating listening experience.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Rituals," which features the sultry vocals of singer-songwriter Claire Mortifee. The song's hypnotic beat and Mortifee's ethereal voice create a sense of otherworldliness that is both mesmerizing and haunting. Similarly, "Nervous Tics" featuring guest vocalist Holly Walker, is a standout track with its catchy chorus and driving rhythms.

The album's title track, "Truths," is a slow-burning epic that builds to a crescendo of soaring synths and pounding drums. It's a testament to Maribou State's ability to create music that is both introspective and expansive, and it's a fitting centerpiece for the album as a whole.
