And naturally it made sense to then point towards British dance music culture because it’s something to be really proud of.”</p><p>Alongside the new album, Maribou State will play a special show at London’s Alexandra Palace on February 14, 2025.

Previously, they were due to appear at Stowaway Festival in Buckinghamshire, Lincolnshire’s Lost Village, and Forwards Bristol.</p><p>Taking to social media, Davids wrote: “Over the past few years Liam and I have hidden ourselves away to write our third album, a process which has not been an easy one. In 2022 I was diagnosed with a rare brain condition called Chiari malformation. It had been the cause of a mix of symptoms including; debilitating headaches, insomnia and bad mental health, which have been hugely impacting my life and productivity in the studio.”</p><p>“After trying a variety of conservative treatments, I made the difficult decision to undergo brain surgery in November last year,” he continued. “The surgery, for the most part, was successful and the symptoms have now either been resolved or are in remission, however there were multiple complications that have since slowed down my recovery and presented me with new challenges, that five months on, are still ongoing.</p><p>“As a result, we’ve had to make the hard decision of pressing pause on the project for the time being. We are therefore very sad to say we are cancelling all our live shows this year and postponing the release of any new music.”</p><p>The last music the duo released was 2018’s ‘Kingdom In Colour’, which <i>NME</i> rated four stars: “‘Nervous Tics’, featuring Walker, is perhaps the finest thing the group have ever produced. Featuring an original recording of the band playing a Guzheng, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument in a music store in Beijing, the arrangement is glorious. But it’s heightened by Walker’s pleas for us to reconnect with each other, and place the value of emotional connection over superficial crutches: ‘<i>You control your heartbeat, but you can’t shut down’</i>.</p><p>“Take a deep breath, lay back and soak in the technicolour empire Maribou State have crafted on this album – you’ll feel at one with our world for it.”</p><p>The post Maribou State announce new album ‘Hallucinating Love’ along with huge London Alexandra Palace gig appeared first on NME.</p></div></body>
