History
Ryan and Rebecca met in 1992, in Ryan's father's independent music store in
Santa Cruz. Three years later, they moved to
San Francisco. There they became Halou, releasing their debut album,
We Only Love You
in
1998, on a small independent label called Bedazzled.
We Only Love You
was followed by a compilation of non-album tracks:
Sans Soucie
in 1999. Their second album,
Wiser
, was released by
Nettwerk in 2001, and their more recent,
Wholeness & Separation
and
Halou
, were both released by Vertebrae in 2006 and 2008 respectively.
Halou's first album was broadcast on influential independent radio stations in Seattle and Los Angeles.
[2] In recent years, the band has received coverage from notable news sources,
[3] [4] and they have been recognized for their production talents:
In 2008, Halou announced that they would no longer be making music under the moniker, and the three part collaboration was over. Rebecca and Ryan Coseboom continue to perform together under the name Stripmall Architecture. Count continues to be involved in music as a producer and engineer.
