OOIOO

YoshimiO’s art-rock noise quartet

Based in Tokyo, Japan

OOIOO work in sharp pivots: clattering percussion, warped guitars, abstract vocals and sudden runs of melody. Their set should feel dense and fast-moving, with rhythm, noise and silence treated as equal materials.

More about OOIOO

Founded by YoshimiO in 1995, OOIOO grew out of the Boredoms orbit and kept its own language of pop fracture and free-form ensemble playing. Their own site frames the band as moving between audible and inaudible, rhythm and non-rhythm, which is exactly the kind of art-rock logic they brought to Japanese underground circles.
