Malibu - One Life EP (2019) [Hi-Res]

Heavy ambient comfort blankets from Malibu; the new moniker for DJ Lostboi, whose string of self-released enigmas 2017-2019 found cult acclaim with the likes of Julianna Barwick among many others.

Bringing a gorgeous pop-ambient sound sensitivity and directness to the current groundswell of ambient music in the air right now, Malibu’s ‘One Life’ is set to touch susceptible souls with its supine, spine-playing qualities.

Strongly reminiscent of Celer and indeed even Julianna Barwick’s style of plainchant, Malibu doesn’t f#ck about when it comes to heart aching composition, stirring up the sweetest, forlorn feels between her windswept intro ‘Nana (Like A Star Made For Me)’, the wistful string figures of ‘Tilting On Windmills’, her Enya-esque mini-epic ‘Camargue’, and the cinematic sweep of ‘One Life.’
