Using their synths as a Ouija board, Brigitte Rose and Chris Black brought BOO from the ether to radiate inter-dimensional indie synthpop. Taking cues from ABBA and DEVO they make “highly charged electronica with incredibly addictive melodies” (Louder Than War).
Their art encompasses every aspect of music production, from designing and making their CDs and videos to creating lighting and video art for their dazzling live shows.
In 2022, to celebrate ten years of BOO the band started a monthly livestream on UA-cam, BOO-cast, giving a glimpse behind the BOO curtain as they create their fifth studio album.
“It’s electro pop so good it sends shivers down parts of the spine other bands cannot reach.”

Lyrics
Frightening interference
Something came between us
The world is full of voices
Permanent on call
We ran for days together
We came upon a clearing
Somewhere to lay your head down
And watch as darkness falls
Please don't let this drown us out
Please don't let this drown us out
With all of England dreaming
Standing at the sky side
Naked in the starlight
The pause before the fall
When did you stop dreaming?
Where did it all go wrong?
Pining in the starlight
Forgotten who you are
When did you stop dreaming?
Where did it all go wrong?
Hiding in the half light
Forgotten what you're for
Please don't let this drown us out
Please don't let this drown us out
Please don't let this drown us out
Please don't let this drown us out
Half the world is sleeping
Frozen at the skyside
Blinking in the starlight
The pause before the fall
We ran for years together
We came upon a clearing
Somewhere to lay your head down
And wait as darkness falls

How did this never get in the charts?!
after 3 seconds of demo I'm sold
Great song and a wonderful arrangement!
Love that song ❤
HAPPY BELATED BOO-THDAY! THATS AN AMAZING CAKE!
Thank youuuu! ✨🙏✨🙏
Nice to see a Microfreak 👍🏼😁 Great sounds and tones; very warm and lush.
Thank you 😋
You guys are awesome 👏 thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
I need to teach Brigitte to say hygge.
Just finally picked one of these up and this is the most helpful video by far. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks!
While I rarely get to show up live, I'm a proud booster. Happy 2 years to you both!!
Thank you!!
Fab episode, Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 what a cake!
Thanks so much! 😊 Xxx
Its biggest problem is sticky knobs! And very expensive replacements from the terrible (UK) korg customer service group.
I was there! In Hobart…..sending truckloads of love, you fabulous BOO-duo. 💜😽
Happy BOO-day and cheers from America (Richmond, Virginia)!
Thank you!!
Amazing episode as always! Happy 2 year anniversary and thanks for playing my video! -Adam
Thank you for sending it in! X
Gosh, those vocal rises! I couldn't do that. The instrumentation is great as usual, but it's the rhythm and expression of the vocals that really grabbed me here.
Thank you!
you two would make excellent daytime tv hosts, very talented and natural presenters!
A kind of Richard and Judy, but without the right-wing/alcohol slant, perhaps? Those years of RADA voice training have finally paid off! Thanks!
It has made a comeback, sort of by Arturia with the CZ-V, well worth a look as you can download a free demo.........
This is awesome! I checked iTunes store and I only see 2 singles . . . Will there be an album at some point?
We only put our singles on Spotify and iTunes, but you can stream our albums, singles and EPs on Bandcamp here: booelectric.bandcamp.com
How did I fail to hear this song until only this evening?! So textured and beautiful--great track, reminiscent of a classic Japan piece. Lovely. ❤
Thank you so much. You should definitely tune in to BOOcast tomorrow evening (Monday 1st July). This song plays a part.
@@BOOelectric I always try to tune in when I can, and thanks for the heads-up 😊
the floppy fringe growing at an alarming rate each video not quite sure what is going on with that... are we being pranked? :)
Weird thing is, we're playing them in reverse order!?
👌👏👍👍👍👍
🪝🎼✌️ powerfully performed
Thank you!!
Super Track ! But where are my friends ?
They are hard to find... But they are there.
Congrats! Thanks for sharing 🎉
Thank you!! 😊
I hope PWM makes a desktop version.
That would be cool. Tbh, the keyboard ain't that great to play, and sometimes the tracking goes a little off in the high regions.
This is great. Such an interesting arrangement/composition…congrats!
Thanks a lot!
Superb disco glitter attack, great performance. Muchos gratitude for sharing ;)
Cheers!
Amazing tracks from so lovely people. Good camera angle on chris's gear. Very fun to see Bri's face expression, with your respect. Cheers
That's very kind of you! Thanks!
I like this corner of UA-cam, definitely not what I was expecting
Thank you!!
At the risk of repeating myself... these new live versions are great! Very alive, well constructed, catchy and cool. I do like me some synthpop and you, my friends, deliver it in spades.
Thank you sir!!

A favourite track anyway, but I have to say these live versions are something else, they're wonderful! I love their spontaneity and that the performances take place in your home, absolutely brilliant honestly and thanks so much for posting them!
Thank you so much!
Simple thank you for giving me fresh new music in a world of banal 🤗
Our pleasure!
Just don’t let Pat through the door ffs.
Locked it.
super dupa video
Thank you!!
Brilliant !
Cheers!!
That was joy. Ta.
Thanks!!
💜:)
>"< >"<
Love it
Thank you sir!!
@@BOOelectric 💗
Great punchy live version! Is that a Roland Promars? Lovely sound from that and the Teisco
Thank you! Yes it's a Promars. I've multi samples it for the gig so I don't have to carry it!!
@@BOOelectric very sensible!
💙 !
So glad I watched this, as you’ve come up with the sort of warm and bloopy ambient sounds I am wanting to make, and I’ve been holding off smashing the buy button on one of these since first investigating it a few weeks ago, as I was mostly hearing fairly cold and harsh and hollow sounds in reviews and overviews elsewhere… I’ve now got one being delivered in a few days
Thank you! I'm very happy to have been of service, and congratulations on your new instrument. You won't be disappointed. 😊
So great a mini synth. If you only try the "fairy tale" sound once, you will never let it go! But sssshhh - keep this secret your own.
A gorgeous sound!
Замечательный музыкальный инструмент, спасибо за обзор! Wonderful musical instrument, thanks for the review!
Thank you so much!
As I believe the kids say, that goes hard!
Oooer!!
Electrifying performance - fully charged to amp up the power of this Mega-tune. I've finished now...
Haha! Thank you!
Brilliant! Great version!!!
Thank you sir! It was the first time we attempted it, but it's now firmly in the set!
Burzum
Classic BOO, love it every time!
Xxx
