Yeah, their name does sound too much like Caribou, but you'll forgive them once you hear their 'Habitat' EP, which is brimming with chilled after-party house vibes. 'Silent' has got a warm fuzzy synth-line that's similar to the one on XXY's 'Ordinary Things'. Over this drip drops xylophonic notes that ring with crystal clear clarity. The trio consists of Liam Ivory, Chris Davids and Josh Donald who used to be a live outfit but have recently moved into productions and are now making some beautifully graceful electronica.
'Breathe' is a lithe and laconic track with a melodic vocal cut and repeated over atmospheric ambiance and a funky purple bassline. The whole EP is tender in sound and well defined in structure, the arrangements feel considered, the effects energetic yet restrained around the luxurious hooks. Maribou State are signed to Fat! Records and you can cop their 'Habitat' EP on Juno. Do it.
