About this event

Oklou, born Marylou Mayniel, is bringing her US Tour to The Pabst Theater, showcasing her evolution as a modern music innovator. Known for her blend of ambient textures and minimal club rhythms, Oklou's performances are a fusion of classical training and electronic production. Her recent album, 'choke enough', has been celebrated by major publications and artists alike, cementing her status as a cultish outsider pop star.

Her live shows are an intimate experience, often featuring unique elements like marimba and piano, alongside electronic beats. Oklou's ability to bridge intimacy and innovation makes her concerts a compelling experience for those seeking something beyond the ordinary. The Pabst Theater, with its excellent acoustics, is the perfect venue to experience her soundscapes.

Fans of Oklou can expect to hear tracks from her deluxe album, including collaborations with artists like FKA twigs. With a reputation for drawing high-profile co-signs from artists like Billie Eilish and Rosalía, Oklou's tour is a testament to her growing influence in the music world.

From the organizer

Oklou’s deluxe album builds on choke enough’s warm production and its blend of ambient textures with minimal club rhythms. The project adds four new songs that expand the album’s universe including Oklou’s single “viscus” featuring FKA twigs. The announcement follows Oklou’s stunning Tiny Desk performance where Oklou played the marimba and piano alongside an eight-piece choir, as well as her cover story for Pitchfork, where journalist Anna Gaca traveled to Pau, France to reflect on her breakthrough year and artistic evolution. Oklou also recently featured on PinkPantheress’ remix album Fancy Some More? On the track “Girl Like Me”. Named among the best albums of the year by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Billboard, The FADER, and Stereogum, and landing France's Le Prix Joséphine Album of the Year award, choke enough has cemented Oklou's status as a cultish outsider pop star. In the wake of the album’s success, Oklou has drawn high profile co-signs from Billie Eilish who noted, "Honestly, she’s the first thing that’s gotten me excited in a while," and Ethel Cain who added, "I'm obsessed with this album, it's like if they made pop music for bugs", as well as Rosalía and Lorde. Born Marylou Mayniel in rural western France, Oklou's musical foundation was built on classical piano and cello, before she fell in love with electronic production and began performing her first shows in Paris. Her 2020 mixtape Galore marked a creative breakthrough, blending introspective songwriting with futuristic sound design. Dazed praised Galore as, “sophisticated in its composition yet totally cutting edge in its sound.” With choke enough, Oklou has evolved into one of the most compelling voices in modern music—bridging intimacy and innovation with fearless emotional clarity.
