Reviews “Simply
one of the best bands in America”-KEXP radio
“Proving their mastery of electro-organic
music, Halou surface again striding light years ahead with their
most compelling work yet” -Filter magazine
“At times entrancing, effervescent,
rousing, emotive, and ethereal, this trio leaps across musical
boundaries with a truly transcendental album.” - All Music Guide
“Five years after its previous release, the San Francisco
trio grows into an exquisite sound it can clearly call its own
with “Wholeness & Separation.” Much of it comes
down to Rebecca Coseboom’s pretty pixie voice -- an instrument
she capably uses to strike notes both soft and hard.” - San Francisco Chronicle
“Halou have, on their third offering,
managed to
turn out one of the most luxurious sounding albums I’ve heard
in a good long while. At times eerie, at others soaring, and always
sexy; Wholeness and Separation meshes the organic and the electronic
with ease — sporting a production that’s beyond suitable
and encroaching on perfection. Smooth, lush, and wide — Halou’s
sound is what so many bands of this ilk strive for but fall short
of. This is the stuff.” - EQ Magazine |
