Review: Much has changed for Maribou State since they delivered their breakthrough album, 'Portraits', in 2015. The runaway success of that album led to live performances at festivals across the globe, and in turn an opportunity to make their own field recordings of sounds - musical and otherwise - in a variety of far-flung locations. As a result, 'Kingdoms in Colour', their third album, is a much more wide-ranging and worldly-wise affair. It exudes warmth and humanity, with glistening tropical guitars and kaleidoscopic electronics rubbing shoulders with shuffling machine beats, jazzy live percussion, warped samples and hazy vocals (Holly Walker and Balearic outfit Khruangbin make notable guest appearances). As a result, Kingdoms of Colour more than lives up to its name, offering a memorable collection of songs and instrumentals bristling with brilliant ideas.

Review: Hertfordshire duo and Pedestrian label head honchos Maribou State return with Portraits Outtakes. "November Nights" is a deep, dreamy and melodic journey track which fits in very well with the status quo of dance music today. "Manila" goes for a mellow pop-inflected vibe with its looped female vocals, drummer's beat and swirling synths: fans of Gotye would love this. Finally "Colours In Sea" is an immersive and ethereal trip with angelic vocals contrasted by cavernous beats and doom-laden strings: it works a treat!

Review: Gorgeous sound manipulators Maribou Sate have brought their artfully tranquil atmospheres to their first full-length LP. There's been a warm and excited buzz around this release, perhaps due to the pair's way with soundscapes, texture and emotional release, maybe also thanks to their collaborations with Pedestrian and Jono McLeery. The hazy glow that drapes each track with a softness most producers seek to erase gives a sweetness to their sound. Sometimes melancholy, sometimes uplifting, always an experience, this album is just a little bit of beauty. Ignore the shimmering "Varkala" and risk missing out on something truly magical.
