Corbu is an American musical duo based in Brooklyn, New York.[1] The duo is headed by Jonathan Graves on vocals and Amanda Scott on synth and percussion.[2]

The band released the EP We Are Sound in 2014, and the EP Everything You Imagine is Real in 2015.[citation needed]

Their debut album, Crayon Soul[3] was mixed by Dave Fridmann,[4] and released in August 2016. 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,[5] and featured an animated music video directed by Daniel Cordero[6]

History

[edit]

Graves and Scott, both originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, met in New York City.[7] After recording their first single, "We Are Sound," it was played by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 in 2014.[8] That year, Corbu remixed "You & I (Forever)" by Jessie Ware, landing them on the Red Bull Music Awards 20 before 15 list.[9] The name Corbu comes from the French architect, writer, designer, and painter Le Corbusier.

In addition to their Bloc Party tour, Corbu played at Austin City Limits in 2016,[10][11] and Electric Forest in 2017.[12]
