“magnificent”

“choke enough is about decisions and possibilities, about windows that can open but also close. To choke up (cry), to choke off (throttle), to fucking choke (Mom’s spaghetti): a frisson of danger to reflect just how nerve-racking these life-­changing moments can feel, even when you know they’re coming for you anyway”

Pitchfork


“Oklou coos thoughts about information, disaster, personal connection and blissful sensation…the tracks twinkle behind her voice like starry skies”

New York Times


"The #1 album of 2025 so far”

Stereogum


“Unstoppable”

Highsnobiety cover


"Honestly, she’s the first thing that’s gotten me excited in a while”

Billie Eilish


"I'm obsessed with this album, it's like if they made pop music for bugs"

Ethel Cain

(Nov 3, 2025) - Following the release of choke enough (Deluxe) via True Panther and her highly celebrated sold out North American tour, Oklou is back to announce a headline run of additional North American tour dates for April and May 2026. The tour includes stops in Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York and more. Oklou will also be making her debut Coachella performance as well as appearances at Primavera Sound and Laneway Festival.

This month, Oklou is heading on her UK and European tour, kicking off this Friday November 7th at Pitchfork Festival London. On November 9th, she’ll join Lorde as a special guest in Luxembourg before resuming her headline dates across Amsterdam, Berlin, Manchester, Paris and more.


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.
