JONATHAN PAPPO hello –
this is a release of works for the project “context, na”.

this includes:
an album / small book – “collapse”;
an unveiling of a “band” performing the work “live”.

APRIL ALIERMO is the co-creative director, the bassist and the co-lyricist of Hooded Fang, a band known for making propulsive, hypnotic rock music reminiscent of industrialized dissonance. She is also in genre-bending, avant-pop electronic duo Phèdre, where she writes music and lyrics, as well as makes anamorphic collages and directs fantastical music videos. She often thinks about destroying the status quo and about alternative ways of living and working.
