Criminally underrated Maribou State

[@sndrcve]

Holly’s voice is flawless 😍

[@blissdemeanor118]

Incredible control and poise! Magic made manifest for us mortals.

[@cfarrell29]

100% Absolutely stunning 😍

[@amitparikh8340]

I listen to this when I ride my scooter. The song is hard and soft. Sensational.

[@666DemonCleaner]

The fact that you can see how much fun they are having is just that much more intoxicating.

[@jasonrose3674]

That's the best song of the 21st Century sorted

[@OzaNdlgr]

One of the most underrated KEXP records

Lyrics:
On balance I'd take
'Nother emotional crisis
Over your slow pulse rate
I'm picking up more nervous tics
You're staying inside, playing dead
And every time a dog barks
It's a bomb dropping overhead
You control your breathing
But you can't control what you're feeling for me
Can't control what you're feeling for me
Can't control what you're feeling for me
Can't control what you're feeling for me, no
More graphic nightmares
And I could make that better
But you won't let me, don't dare
So, on balance I'd say
This type of ultra cruelness
Is the worst kind of shade
I'm picking up more nervous tics
You're staying inside, playing dead
So, all this longwave silence
Can we please put it to bed?
You control your heartbeat
But you can't share time
Can't share time
Can't share time
Can't share time
You control your breathing
But you can't control what you're feeling for me
Can't control what you're feeling for me
Can't control what you're feeling for me
Can't control what you're feeling for me, no

Sauber, danke

[@usdjxavi]

Gracie 😘

[@andreas49er]

she's so fresh
her voice even better here in comparison with the off vid

[@Innertruth_official]

Holly Walker and London Grammar are my favorite female singers!

[@nicoleb8970]

I really don't think there's anyone cooler on the planet than these guys

[@Nic7320]

Her voice is heavenly.

[@mikemorrisey3259]

one of the best track ever

[@SWORLD1991]

Every time i come back to listening to this song. It hits me like the first time. El crack.

[@frankievalentine6112]

Omg can't believe i missed this. Holly is SO GOOD!

[@MrMalthusMusic]

This track blew me away the first time I heard it; after a few hundred listens it still thrills me, especially the vocal performance which is outstanding. Intensely curious what all the labelling on the synths is for?

[@666DemonCleaner]

For keeping track of settings for different songs. The ms-20 is analog and has no presets.

[@lifesabeach2597]

It's always fun to hear something I have never heard before

[@amirrahnama8974]

I am in love with Holly!

[@bofaybaykweh]

That nail color is perfect on her 😍

[@jora4314]

Wow just wow....

[@bjay3578]

I very much agree

[@sabincka]

Her vocal is alsoincredible live !!!

[@salrusso986]

Maribou State is essential for those who love ancient sounds as well as modern ones, completely electronic. I have done so much to forget the drums, the bass, and the electric guitar! Why do I have to go back?

[@bjay3578]

Only 2.9k? This is an instant favorite!!
Such an addicting sound….!!

[@charliethecockatoo2159]

What a fucking jam! And the effortless cool of Holly, of course. ;D

[@rawc44]

Her voice fits their style so smoothly

[@dragonflyFZX]

Flawlessly executed! Exquisite musicians

[@philorkill]
