“Each of our albums had a synth that really excited us. The first was a Prophet ‘08, the second was the MS-20, and this time the Moog Matriarch is on every track”: Maribou State on Hallucinating Love

On their third LP, Hallucinating Love, Maribou State return with a revitalized sound after battling mental health issues

Six years after Kingdoms in Colour cemented their place as one of the UK’s most soulful and forward-thinking electronic acts, Maribou State released their long-awaited third album, Hallucinating Love, earlier this year.

Written in the aftermath of plummeting anxiety, partly prompted by an exhausting decade of touring, the LP channels the duo’s personal upheaval into music that’s uplifting, expansive and deeply human.

From the earthy textures of lead single Blackoak to the euphoric lift of Otherside, featuring long-time vocal collaborator Holly Walker, Hallucinating Love is both a reflection on struggle and the dawn of a more connected relationship between Hertfordshire duo Chris Davids and Liam Ivory.
