History
Graves and Scott, both originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, met in New York City. After recording their first single, "We Are Sound," it was played by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 in 2014. That year, Corbu remixed "You & I (Forever)" by Jessie Ware, landing them on the Red Bull Music Awards 20 before 15 list. 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, and Electric Forest in 2017.
