I first discovered Oklou when she opened for Caroline Polachek on the Pang tour in 2021 and thank heavens I did because she just released her premiere album and it is a marvel! She‘s an incredible producer/DJ, and she’s worked with some of your favs to bring back that early oughts frutiger-aero-esque sparkle sound you imagine hearing in an all-white interior spaceship. My favs off this album (so far) are obvious, ict, and blade bird. I also highly recommend her songs god’s chariot and galore off her 2020 mixtape known by the latter name.
i absolutely ADORE oklou's new album, choke enough. it's like an angel descended from heaven, perched on your shoulder, whispered a few secrets in your ear and flew off into the night sky, i love the mix of field recordings and how she effortlessly strings a range of sounds together to create music that's so unique notable mentions : thank you for recording, ict, want to wanna come back, blade bird bonus for her nts performance (on an ice rink !!!!)
I’m currently loving this album, Luna Li’s experimentation with sound and synth and classical instruments is so unique. I feel like a little fairy lounging on a bed of moss, biting into a ripe plum sparkling with dew.
