Oklou drops singles “harvest sky” and “Obvious”
Oklou shares two new singles “harvest sky,” featuring Bay Area artist underscores, along with “obvious.” Says underscores: “Oklou has become one of my favorite artists over the past few years, so I was ecstatic when she asked me to be a part of “harvest sky.”” The synth line in this song is generational.” Danny L Harle (Dua Lipa, Caroline Polachek, Charli XCX) and Nick Leon (Erika De Casier, Empress Of) added production elements to oklou’s characteristically restrained and spacious ambience.
Speaking about the new singles Oklou shares, “”harvest sky” is probably my third attempt to talk about a thing that happens at times during festivities; zoom out from the crowd and enter a lonely mental space. ‘obvious’ has got many names in the past, but I love this one cause this track feels very close to what defines a special tone in my music, in a core-ish way. It also talks about something dear to my heart: music vs words.”
Alongside the new music, Oklou is announcing a string of North American and European tour dates for February and March of 2025. 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.
Born Marylou Mayniel in the countryside of Western France, Oklou’s first musical experiences consisted of classical piano and cello lessons before she fell in love with electronic music and took up production. Mayniel eventually moved to Paris, where she hosted weekly radio shows and performed her first live shows as Oklou. The artist has collaborated with Mura Masa, A. G. Cook and EASYFUN (the last two both producers of Charli XCX’s Brat) and culminating in her full-length mixtape galore in 2020. Oklou has toured with Oneohtrix Point Never and Caroline Polachek as well as a much-heralded feature with Flume.
