French vocalist, producer and composer Oklou has shared new single “blade bird” ahead of her full album, choke enough, due this Friday Feb 7th via True Panther.
Alongside the newly released single Oklou has shared a live session video of the song produced by NTS and directed by Iris Luz. The video features Oklou performing the single in the centre of an ice rink with graceful ice skating dancers swirling around her.
Oklou’s forthcoming debut album was developed with co-producers Casey MQ, Danny L Harle and A. G. Cook. The album is a reflection on the subconscious and conscious demands of an artistic psychology, as well as existing and creating in a brief and transient life. choke enough is filled with warm production, pairing ambient sounds with minimal club rhythms, delicate synthesiser arpeggios and found sound samples.
The French multi-hyphenate will also be performing a string of North American and fully sold out European tour dates in February and March. The tour begins in Europe with stops including Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and London and then continues on to North America with dates in Toronto, Montreal, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
