Berlin-based Alejandro Molinari premiers his latest EP Culto A La Vida on the record label Phisica. Inspired by the poetry and writings of the Mexican author Octavio Paz, the lyrics reference his concept of the cult of life and death, both of which are interlinked in an eternal cosmic cycle.

Unable to be outside, a place where the only animals left are us and the ones feeding off of us.
