Genre:Avant / Experimental
Aloa Input is a Munich-based three-piece comprised of Florian Kreier (vocals/bass, aka Angela Aux), Cico Beck (drums/electronics; aka Joasihno & live member of The Notwist and Ms. John Soda), and Marcus Grassl (guitar/vocals).
Founded in January 2011, the band’s eclectic output is known to channel a plethora of different influences from various genres and periods. Often based on experimentation – think Flaming Lips, Animal Collective, Can –, Aloa Input’s sound generally combines the members’ penchant for massive hooks, multipart vocals and complex beats (in the vein of Anticon).
Aloa Input have released their debut album “Anysome” (Morr Music) in early 2013, followed by a remix EP (“RMX”) in summer 2014.
In 2015 Aloa Input are about to leave planet earth altogether with their sophomore release "MARS ETC." (Morr Music). Dropping only one year after the band's debut, Aloa Input return with an album that finds them dashing through the better part of recent music history, to eventually take off for the Red Planet: "MARS ETC." is terrestrial life condensed, an experimental study in hands-on, sonic set theory - recorded in a lighthouse on the Croatian island of Krk, they mixed the album in Weilheim (The Notwist studios) with co-producer Olaf Opal.
