Hop began working on the album after spending a month living with insects in her home studio, building terrariums to record them for the sound design of a film she was working on.
The Life of Insects subsequently presents a speculative narrative of their lives, designed to be reconstructed and re-imagined through the ear, and mind, of the listener.
The album’s 8-tracks span electroacoustic experimentations, ambient, noise and guitar.
It follows her Apophenia LP, which was also released on Buh Records.
