OOIOO is a Japanese experimental rock band. The four-piece ensemble was founded by Yoshimi P-We (also known as Yoshimio), the drummer and occasional trumpeter for Boredoms.[1] The band's origin lies in a photo shoot that Yoshimi was asked to do for a magazine. She invited a few of her friends to join her, and they created a fake band for the shoot, which they later decided to make real.[2] The band quickly gained attention by being the opening act for Sonic Youth in 1997 on their Japan tour.[3]
According to AllMusic's Kieran McCarthy "It's next to impossible to describe their sound, because — by design — it rarely follows consistent patterns".[1] Some of their music has been described as having "a majestic ebb and flow that suggests natural wonders"[4] or a "witchy, tribal side".[4] Either way, at any one time it may incorporate chanting and punchy drums,[4] dancey polyrhythms[5] atonal composition[5] or psychedelia.[6]
