Malibu is a French composer and vocalist whose art is bound to meditation. A musician by trade but an allegorist in practice, her compositions exist as fragments of an imagination as wide as the sea and as open as the sky above it. Loose threads of drone, neoclassical, dance, and pop are woven within contexts of introspection and evanescence. Between these threads is a sonic lexicon entirely her own. Muted pianos and soaring woodwinds sit atop deep, dense waves of strings and pads. Her vocals, a cast of whispers, shift from intimate spoken word passages, long vocalized breaths, and gasps that feel like instruments in their own right. What culminates is a sanctuary for romantic musings on cities, seas, and the self to take place comfortably—ephemerally so, but everlasting all the same.
Malibu's artistry encompasses an unparalleled live performance, featuring a seamless blend of tracks meant to induce a state of euphoria and entrancement, enhanced by attentive lighting cues and sound dynamics. This live acumen has earned her spots at festivals such as Atonal and C2C, and as the opening act for frequent collaborator Oklou’s Choke Enough tour. The philosophy of her live performances extends to her acclaimed NTS radio show United in Flames, where she and a cast of guests (including Evian Christ, Casey MQ, Stella Explorer) bring meaningful thought and reason to an otherwise purely curatorial offering. A cinematic artist by nature, she is also a well-versed composer for film, notably scoring 2024’s La Fille Qui Explose (The Exploding Girl), which was featured at the Cannes Film Festival.
ESP: The collaboration of friends Donovan and Zephyr has already spanned a lifetime.From their roots in rural Massachusetts, the enigmatic artists have remained steadfast and tightly connected. They now produce electronic music as ESP.
Their bond informs their music, with tracks built around shared experiences, inspirations and moments noticed. Vast sound worlds are distilled to their essential core, forming taught, electric compositions.
Although decidedly genre-agnostic, a thread runs through the duo's music that is instantly recognisable and readily woven into the fabric of modern life. Their music, at once ethereal, ambient, surreal, hypnotic, and futuristic, explores their deep mutualism — the synthesis of an extrasensory partnership.
In 2020 the duo released they’re first album “Forever,” which was followed with various singles, music videos, mixes, and collaborations which include notable names such as Detroit techno producer John Beltran on a remix and French ambient artist Malibu on her acclaimed NTS Radio show United in Flames. Over the next few years they would cultivate a relationship with Swedish record label Year0001, leading them to contribute the track “North” to the Rift 02 Compilation, and later they’re second album “Promise.”
“Promise,” ESP’s sophomore album was released in August 2024 by Year0001, it features 8 tracks showcasing the evolution of the duo’s sound. The album was accompanied by two music videos, “Formation” and “Vega.”
