Libelula is a UK electronic / pop duo; their music is dark, powerful, smouldering and cinematic with striking female vocals over driving electronics, intricate beats, ambient FX, and unique orchestration.
Héctor, originally from Mexico City and Sarah, from Somerset formed Libelula in 2004. With backgrounds in music, drama and technology they write and produce their material together, incorporating sound, story, visuals and performance into their work.
Their constantly evolving live shows feature a full band including vocals, drums, samples, cello, bass, keyboards and glockenspiel.
“Libelula uses a thick mix of sounds, creating a lush background for the vocals...an often intricate one. The use of trip-hop beats, playful synths, ambient effects, and masterful orchestration leads me to namedrop Portishead, Goldfrapp, Massive Attack and Zero7 as immediate points of reference.” theblackandwhitemag
"Wonderful hypnotic electro with sensuous vocals and an irresistible hook. Elegantly understated pop orchestration reminiscent of Goldfrapp back when they were still hungry. A real gem." Tom Robinson - BBC6
Note: MP3's are only samples of the songs.
