Malibu

Malibu is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Oklou and Kiss. Those roots explain a lot about how Malibu arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as James K, Ana Roxanne, Oneohtrix Point Never, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Gigi Masin, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ringo Starr, Justice, Brian Wilson, Marianas Trench and Stereolab, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 16 connections around Malibu, reaching back through Oklou and forward to Ringo Starr. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
