What is "ooioo"

OOIOO 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". Either way, at any one time it may incorporate chanting and punchy drums, dancey polyrhythms atonal composition or psychedelia.

OOIOO, originally released as ∞8∞ (pronounced "eight") in Japan, is the debut album by the Japanoise band OOIOO.
