Precious little about these guys on the internet. The backroom boys are Icelandic duo Jóhann Jóhannsson and Pétur Hallgrímsson. I'm not sure , but I think the Female singer (Sarah?) is English. She appears to be uncredited on the sleeve.
This appears hazy and slightly out of focus at first, but after a few listens, the quality starts to shine through.
The name LHOOQ is lifted from the Duchamp "readymade".
I bought this at the time because it is part produced by Steve Hillage and because it was released on the Echo label, one time home of Julian Cope. I was also smoking a hell of a lot of dope.
