bb u ok?

For San Holo, everything is personal. Every note is a story and each lyric a memory, a hyper-real exploration of purpose and shared experience. This emotion shines through on San Holo’s latest album bb u ok?, on bitbird / Counter Records. Spanning an impressive 20 tracks bb u ok? is San Holo’s (real name Sander Van Dijck) most accomplished work to date.

Recorded in LA’s Echo Park, bb u ok? arrives three years after his critically acclaimed debut album1 which pioneered a post-EDM sound, blurring the lines between festival anthems and lo-fi bedroom ballads. On bb u ok?, San further explores this intersection by mixing more analog instruments and equipment into his genre-bending sound. He fleshes out his band with collaborations, from album1 returnees Bipolar Sunshine and The Nicholas, to long-time heroes of San’s including Illinois indie rockers American Football and Rivers Cuomo.
