Drum & Lace

Drum & Lace, aka Sofia degli Alessandri, is a Florence-raised, London-based musician and composer. Her music takes inspiration from the natural world and is scattered with field recordings, so while the work is largely electronic there is a grounding and organic nature to every track. 2022's debut album Natura found inspiration in the soil and in rolling hills, while 2023's Frost EP captured the quiet beauty of winter. Her second LP ONDA was her most dance floor-leaning record to date. It's inspired by the ocean, with motifs of shells, sand and sisterhood present throughout. Following her second LP, Drum & Lace has released an EP of ambient vocal works called Tempora (2025) and her track ‘Marmo’ was featured on Mesh’s Lattice003 compilation. Her upcoming EP, Terra, out on Mesh in March 2026, cketches a map of connection, bridging disparate realities into a declaration of beauty in nature for the land she grew up in.  Sofia has shared the stage with artists as disparate, and luminary, as William Basinski, Suzanne Ciani, Shirley Manson of Garbage, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, black midi, Sqürl and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, while the stages she's performed on include revered London venues like Café OTO and EartH, Moogfest, Public Records NY, Slingshot Festival and National Sawdust's Digital Discovery Festival in the US and Festa Dell’Opera in Italy. As a composer for film & tv, her accolades include work with AppleTV+ (‘Dickinson’, ‘All of You’), 20th Century Studios (‘Rosaline’), Lionsgate (2023’s ‘Cobweb’), NBC (‘Good Girls’, ‘Grosse Pointe Garden Society’) and Amazon Studios (‘Red, White & Royal Blue’). Such variety is proof that Drum & Lace is confidently dipping her toes in electronic music's different pools. From an intimate and immersive ambient performance to a summer festival stage, Drum & Lace taps into both with ease.
