Oklou – Choke Enough

Having established herself as one of the most promising artists of her generation, collaborating with names like Mura Masa, Pomme and Flavien Berger and remixing stars like Dua Lipa and Angèle (Fever), Caroline Polachek (Door) and A. G. Cook (Being Harsh), Frenchwoman Oklou took the time to reflect on her career and aspirations, and the result is something to be heard.

The album paints an emotional landscape. The warm, beautiful productions that characterize Oklou's style are consistent; combining ambient sounds with minimal club rhythms, delicate synthesizer arpeggios and found sound samples. The album's title track, "choke enough", embodies the project's search for meaning, the need to be touched by something - by a grandiose epiphany or a fleeting moment from everyday life.
