Biografía

Escobar channels her musical output through a range of alter egos as diverse as the mind behind them: Poison Arrow, based on Colombian cultural tropes in a cross-border aesthetic; Pierce with Arrow, a new audiovisual project in collaboration with Troy Pierce at the intersection of music, scent, and moving image; Natalia Escobar, her personal art projects and DJ moniker. She has performed in renowned clubs such as Säule at Berghain, Video Club in Bogotá, Moog Barcelona, Caché in Cairo to avant-garde festivals such as Madeira Dig, and Sync/cussion, amongst others. She has played for fashion events for the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Viktor & Rolf, and Alyx. Escobar’s sets are at once sophisticated and mischievous; with a spectrum that ranges from downtempo experimental ambient to dance floor driven techno with a touch of Electro, EBM and Autonomic influences. Known for her slow-building synth-driven sets, she tells a story with the intention to warp minds and move bodies. Escobar’s first recorded output was a remix of Mathew Jonson’s seminal track Decompression, which was re-released on Jonson’s new label Freedom Engine, followed by If You Don’t Love Me (I’ll Cut Your Face) EP, which came out under her Poison Arrow moniker, released on dBridge’s Pleasure District Label. Poison Arrow deals with concepts around social imagination and mysticism in Colombian Carrilera music; a regional folk music that emerged in the coffee region and explores themes of love, loss, broken hearts, and crimes of passion, providing a modern interpretation of this unique cultural heritage; rescuing its drama, passion, and dark humor. Her latest endeavor, Pierce with Arrow has been signed to Dais Records. For Electra, their first digital single was accompanied by a scent by Folie A Pluiseurs, bringing together the mediums of scent and music under one experience. In March 2021 they released their first LP Shatter, conceived in reverse: first they created a collection of shadowy surrealist videos, then wrote music inspired by them. Later, a scent was created also in collaboration with Folie A Pluiseurs as an olfactive translation of the music and videos, and developed as an incense paper by the Japanese incense house Hako. The incense paper comes as a black leaf, intended to be burned while listening to the album. Through this synesthetic marriage, their project aims to remap the sensory listening experience and form a deeper emotional relationship to the sonic narrative.
