Hotel la Rut

by Joanna Wang

Hotel la Rut cover art

Embracing a wildly eccentric and highly theatrical pop aesthetic, the Taiwanese-American artist constructs a surreal conceptual universe centered around a bizarre, fictional hotel. The eclectic instrumentation blends elements of geek rock and cabaret, accompanying delightfully humorous and unpredictable vocal performances.
