Alice Phoebe Lou's music is a diary of her life and journey, the ups, downs and everything in-between.

However with Swiss group Kaos Protokoll’s latest LP ‘Everyone Nowhere’, the band have opted to simply do their own thing, making a journey into their truths about a sound that they simply love to play.
