Ryan Coseboom met Rebecca Coseboom in 1992 while running his father’s notorious independent record store in Santa Cruz, CA. Three years later, the pair ventured north to San Francisco to pursue the sound that would eventually become Halou.
Their discography includes: “We Only Love You” (debut LP, 1998), “Sans Soucie” (b-sides, rare and unreleased tracks, 1999), “Wiser” (2nd LP, 2001), “Threesongs” (EP, 2001), “Oceanwide” (single/maxi-single, 2001), “The Wholeness EP” (2003), “Sans Soucie (Edition Two)” (CD Baby re-issue with extra tracks…, 2004), “The Separation EP” (2006), “Wholeness & Separation” (3rd LP, 2006), “Albatross EP” (iTunes-exclusive EP, 2006), “Sawtooth EP” (limited to digital downloads, 2008), “Halou” (4th LP, 2008). (“Beneath Trembling Lanterns” (2006) is credited to Halou side-project R/R Coseboom)
Rebecca and Ryan debuted in a band called Anymore. Inspired more by dreampop bands like Cocteau Twins and less by trip-hop, the band had released only two albums: “Thistlestar E.P.” (1996) and “Umani” (1997). Minus Alex Ionov, the members of the band decided to start another project entitled Halou that would have more elements of downtempo electronica.
Halou’s debut album, We Only Love You [W.O.L.Y.], was released in 1998 on a small independent label called Bedazzled. Featuring Rebecca’s powerfully honest vocals, the album meandered irreverently through abstract beats and sumptuously languid electronic pop music. W.O.L.Y. received overwhelming praise, was spun by highly influential indie radio stations, and was reviewed by virtually every noteworthy electronic music magazine.

Yeah, Sawtooth was a real spoiler. And I still think the songs imported from R/R Coseboom sessions are somewhat out of place...

just terrific that the female fronted electronic duo has reached so far into all scenes. Besides, drum machines are never to drunk to play.

@DiffusionOfTime: Yeah, but don't forget the side projects! You can always expect to hear something like Beneath Trembling Lanterns or early Halou again.
