Hubris is a studio album by Australian musician Oren Ambarchi. It was released on 11 November 2016, through Editions Mego. It received universal acclaim from critics.
Hubris continues "the exploration of relentless, driving rhythms" of Oren Ambarchi's Sagittarian Domain (2012) and Quixotism (2014). It features contributions from Crys Cole, Mark Fell, Will Guthrie, Arto Lindsay, Jim O'Rourke, Konrad Sprenger, Joe Talia, Ricardo Villalobos, and Keith Fullerton Whitman. In a 2024 interview, Ambarchi recalled, "the album slowly expanded during my tour â that's why there's so many different people from all over the world on that record." The album's title is derived from a William Friedkin autobiography. The album was released on 11 November 2016, through Editions Mego.
Ricardo Villalobos' remixes of Hubris were released as Hubris Variation (2016) and Hubris Variation Parts 2 & 3 (2020). The 2019 live recording of Hubris was released as Live Hubris (2021).
Daniel Sylvester of Exclaim! stated, "On Hubris, Oren Ambarchi displays the confidence to allow a jumble of musicians and sounds to come off like a beautifully orchestrated, high-concept piece." Jo Kali of Crack commented that "Each additional collaborator helps the rhythms throughout this album gesture towards an almost transcendental state." Lisa Blanning of Resident Advisor wrote, "what makes this record feel special is how naturally it moves to occupy a space between classical minimalism, jazz, rock and electronic music."
