Lucrecia Dalt

Born in Pereira, Colombia, Lucrecia Dalt has carved out a distinctive space in contemporary music. Her trajectory from civil engineer to sound artist began while working at a geotechnical company in Medellín, where she discovered computer-based music production—a revelation that redirected her life and creative focus.

After early recordings with Colombian collective Series and a contribution to Monika Enterprise’s 4 Women No Cry (2008), Dalt’s sound evolved across moves from Medellín to Barcelona and Berlin. Albums like Commotus (2012), Syzygy (2013), and Ou (2015) traced increasingly abstract territory.

With RVNG Intl., Dalt released Anticlines (2018), No era sólida (2020), and ¡Ay! (2022)—each expanding her sonic and conceptual palette. ¡Ay! earned Album of the Year from The Wire and top-ten placement from Pitchfork, The New York Times, and NPR. She also scored HBO’s The Baby (2022), On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (2024), and upcoming film The Rabbit Hole (2025).

Her new album, A Danger to Ourselves, turns inward, drawing from notes written during tour and early relationship days. With Alex Lázaro and collaborators including David Sylvian, Juana Molina, and Camille Mandoki, Dalt crafts vivid, personal soundscapes—pushing beyond lo-fi approaches toward greater clarity and emotional resonance.
