OOIOO

OOIOO /ˌoʊˌoʊˌaɪˌoʊˈoʊ/ is a group founded by Boredoms drummer (and occasional trumpeter and vocalist) Yoshimi P-We.

According to AllMusic's Kieran McCarthy "It's next to impossible to describe their sound, because — by design — it rarely follows consistent patterns". Some of their music has been described as having "a majestic ebb and flow that suggests natural wonders" or a "witchy, tribal side".
