TN:151 MARIBOU STATE

Album: Hallucinating Love

This week, John is joined by electronic music duo Maribou State to discuss the making of their third studio album, ‘Hallucinating Love’.

Maribou State first gained traction after releasing a string of EPs back in 2011, but truly broke through with their debut album, ‘Portraits’, propelling the duo to international recognition. Since then, they’ve become a staple of the global dance music scene, selling out tours across the UK, Europe, and North America.

Sitting down at Strongroom Studios, the pair discuss their immersive writing retreats, the challenge of creating over 25 demos for a single track, and their ‘sound harvest’ sessions – entire studio days focused on building custom sample libraries from everyday objects and experimenting with an array of gear.

Tracks discussed: Blackoak, Otherside, Rolling Stone
