Leading up to the release of their fourth studio album, Hallucinating Love, Chris Davids and Liam Ivory explore new creative horizons with their beloved project, Maribou State. The duo shared the album’s first single, “Otherside,” earlier this month, and now return to TSIS with another taste of the LP, “Bloom,” featuring Gaidaa.
“Bloom” features a beautifully organic, refreshingly peaceful arrangement. A clean guitar tone plucks the main melodic motif, complimented by a syncopated, simplistic drum beat. Vocals from rising Sudanese Dutch singer-songwriter, Gaidaa, raise the energy of the track, imparting a passionate refrain atop the track’s minimalistic arrangement. We thoroughly enjoyed the attention to detail in Maribou State’s production, carefully choosing their sounds to seamlessly blend into a cohesive soundscape.
