HALOU was created as the DIY project of husband/wife duo Rebecca and Ryan
Coseboom, who began releasing tracks from their bedroom in the suburbs of San
Francisco in 1997. Halou quickly gained attention from labels and radio and
released their first album, WE ONLY LOVE YOU, in 1998.
Drummer/co-producer Count joined shortly after and the new three-piece Halou
signed to ômajor indie,ö Nettwerk, for their second album, WISER. The album
gained the band a cult following and influential outlets like KEXP and KCRW
helped spread the word, helping the band secure slots at major festivals,
receive considerable acclaim from influential press outlets, and build a devoted
fanbase.
As Halou worked on their third album, WHOLENESS AND SEPARATION, Ryan and Count
began a successful run remixing artists like Frank Sinatra, Depeche Mode, Lyrics
Born and Rod Stewart (HalouÆs remix reached #1 on BillboardÆs dance charts) and
the band appeared as guests on records by DJ Shadow, UNKLE, and Velvet
Underground legend John Cale.
Their fourth album, simply titled HALOU, and featuring Cocteau Twins guitarist
Robin Guthrie, was previewed during a US tour with indie icon, Bob Mould, and
showcased a more guitar-oriented sound than their previous releases.
The WELCOME STRANGER EP will be released on April 23, 2021.
