Ke Lepo

Investigating the intricate world of the synthesizer is something Ke Lepo, the alter ego of Alejo Obergozo (keyboardist for the band Grises), has been doing for a long time. Now, that research bears fruit with the release of Izpi, his first full-length effort released under the Forbidden Colours Diskoetxea label, which discovered in this Zestoa-born producer a talent hidden in plain sight, but not to the ear. The secret is finally revealed. The figure of Ke Lepo is that of a curious and restless musician guided down a path to explore by the works of James Holden, Four Tet, Floating Points, Caterina Barbieri, Daphni, or Burial. Without being strictly tied to electronic music, through trial and error, plenty of improvisation, and making music out of pure pleasure, he has forged an immersive avant-garde sound with a distinct personality of its own.
