Based in Brooklyn, New York.,[1] Corbu[2] is an electro-psych duo created by multi-instrumentalist,[3] Jonathan Graves (vocalist), and co-writer, Amanda Scott (synth & percussions).[4] The band's debut album, Crayon Soul[5] was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, MGMT, Neon Indian and Tame Impala),[6] and released in August 2016. This LP was preceded by two EPs, We Are Sound (2014) and Everything You Imagine is Real (2015). Following the debut of Crayon Soul, Corbu supported Bloc Party on a United States tour. Their track "Battles" was picked up by The Sunday Times,[7] and featured an animated music video directed by Daniel Cordero[8]

History

Graves and Scott, both originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, met in New York City.[9] After recording their first single, "We Are Sound," it was played by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 in 2014, who declared the song "really really really really really really good!".[10] Also, in 2014, Corbu remixed "You & I (Forever)" by Jessie Ware, landing them on the Red Bull Music Awards 20 before 15 list.[11] The name Corbu comes from the French architect, writer, designer, and painter Le Corbusier.

In addition to their Bloc Party tour, Corbu played Austin City Limits in 2016,[12][13] and Electric Forest in 2017[14]
