Catalog Number: OKLOU1 Color: Black Format: LP Back in stock for Galore, OkLou's first mixtape. Released in three parts, it is positively serene: a delicate, avant-garde collection of songs that explore emotional rebirth and feminine emancipation. Galore is the meeting point between Oklou's classical musical training and internet aesthetic. The title track and 'Rosebud' both open with feather-light trills that are the electronic equivalent of Mozart finger-work, whilst 'Fall' is dotted with orchestral string overlays. Mayniel's SoundCloud beginnings come through in heavily Auto-Tuned vocals, the occasional flash of underground club production and Massive Attack-style trip-hop on 'Asturias'. Traditional and futuristic influences combine to create something spaced-out and graceful; single 'Unearth Me' starts with warm, subtle synths, before expanding into a tale of phoenixes and rejuvenation. Its soaring "Ooh, love" chorus and computerised vocals wouldn't be out of place on a fantasy gaming soundtrack.
