Selofan – Vitrioli – Black/White Splatter LP

Description

A well-known purveyor of allusive, synth-infused coldwave music and the driving force behind the Greek label, Fabrika Records, Selofan followed the siren call of the 80s goth sounds and minimalism, carving out their own spot at the forefront of independent wave music scene. The seasoned hunters constantly digging for new dramas and passions to grace their visual intention and musical charm, the band specialise in deep, cold & racy analog sounds- but have always been favoured along with howling vocals, well-distilled synths and heartbroken sax- when it comes to the occasional shootout between genre trenches. Across Vitrioli’s eleven heart-wrenching love songs and odes to the failures and hysterias of the subculture, Selofan brilliantly express the bands main themes theyve been exploring since their existence: that there is dark humour in emotional vulnerability, that one can find a way to laugh and cry in the same breath and get stronger. The sound of Vitrioli is intense, inflammatory and sometimes harrowing- the record taps into the depths of madness: chanelling a lovers call to Varms, power of self-awareness and brutal rawness of desperation, love and hate conflict colliding into devastating effects. Famously provocative, Selofan create an unpopulated dramatic realm where sad lovers shapeshift into a destructive, obsessive, ambitious persona with a driven desire. Available on black and white splatter vinyl LP.
