Sofia Degli Alessandri-Hultquist, AKA Drum & Lace, is a Florence-raised, London-based musician and artist. Drum & Lace takes inspiration from the natural world and her music is scattered with field recordings, so while the work is largely electronic there is a grounding and organic nature to every track. 2022's debut album Natura found inspiration in the soil and in rolling hills, while 2023's Frost EP captured the quiet beauty of winter. Her LP ONDA -- her most dance floor-leaning record to date -- is inspired by the ocean, with motifs of shells, sand and sisterhood present throughout. Sofia has shared the stage with artists as disparate, and luminary, as William Basinski, Suzanne Ciani, Shirley Manson of Garbage, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, black midi, Sqürl, and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, while the stages she's performed on include revered London venues like Café OTO and EartH, Moogfest, Slingshot Festival and National Sawdust's Digital Discovery event in the US and Festa Dell'Opera in Italy. She is also a composer for film with degrees from the prestigious Berklee College of Music and New York University, and her accolades include work with 20th Century Studios, Lionsgate, NBC, AppleTV+ and Amazon Studios. At the same time, she's been releasing music outside her scoring work, using her extensive synth collection to find her voice as an electronic producer whose music recalls the likes of Kelly Lee Owens. Such variety is proof that Drum & Lace is confidently dipping her toes in electronic music's different pools. From an intimate and immersive ambient performance to a summer festival stage, Drum & Lace taps into both with ease. Limited LP on transparent vinyl.
