LOOK DE BOUK

Look de Bouk biography
LOOK DE BOUK formed out of the ashes of renowned French RIO act Hellebore headed by Denis Tagu. In the same year as 'Il a y des Jour' LOOK DE BOUK released their first album entitled "Lacrimae Rerum" on the AYAA label. Trending different avenues to their predecessors LOOK DE BOUK embraces a playful almost childish outlook to the sound they craft sounding like a cunning mix between 80's Residents, Pascal Comelade (thanks to their usage of toys), Aksak Maboul's first and ZNR. The combination results in an overly enjoyable experience (undeniably French) putting an affable face on these weird but charming RIO-esque experimentations. To date the band has released two full length albums plus two reissue albums with extra unheard material, amongst numerous feature pieces on an array of compilations.

People deterred by the sinister side of RIO/avant-prog should find LOOK DE BOUK to be a breath of fresh air offering a more digestible and charming affair.
