Advance track from the new album "Why Is It They Say a City Like Any City?" by the Peruvian-born / Berlin-based experimental artist Ale Hop which was conceived in a context of immobility and provides six sonic vignettes that wonder about location, circularity, rootedness and experience.
Ale Hop is the moniker of Alejandra Cárdenas, a Berlin-based, Peru-born artist, researcher, and
experimental multi-instrumentalist that began her career in the 2000s in the underground scene of
Lima, where she had several pop, punk and electronic bands, and continually collaborated with
filmmakers, musicians, and artists.
In her solo music project, she finely blends and crafts a complex repertoire of unorthodox guitar
techniques, with psychedelic drones that become visceral and breathtaking live performances.
