AGENTAndrew Patterson
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.
