Aloa Input is a German three-piece ensemble that emerged from the vibrant Munich and Weilheim scenes, closely associated with the Morr Music label. The band consists of Florian Kreier, Cico Beck, and Marcus Grassl.
Cico Beck's involvement with The Notwist is a key indicator of the band's sonic DNA: a sophisticated blend of electronic experimentation and indie-pop accessibility. Their career is marked by a restless search for unique recording environments, notably tracking their second album 'MARS ETC.' in a Croatian lighthouse to capture specific natural reverbs and isolation. Critically, they are viewed as heirs to the Krautrock tradition (Can, Neu!) filtered through the lens of 21st-century indietronics and the psychedelic whimsy of bands like Animal Collective. Their sound identity is defined by 'multipart vocals,' complex rhythmic patterns influenced by the Anticon collective, and a lyrical focus on surrealism and existentialism. They occupy a unique space in the German music landscape, bridging the gap between academic experimentalism and the indie-rock mainstream.
