Lebanon Hanover are an ice cold reply to the alienated world coming
from two warm beating hearts. Larissa Iceglass and WilliamMaybelline
appear as true romantics of the modern age, admiring William Wordsworth,
fascinated by the beauty of art nouveau aesthetics, exploring British
seashores and forests at night, whilst being inspired by the urbanism of
Berlin.

With 4 acclaimed studio albums already under their belt, the
Athens-based synth / coldwave duo Selofan announces “Vitrioli”, their
fifth and most staggering album yet, set for release on 13 April 2018.
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 80’s 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 specialize in deep, cold
& racy analog sounds- but have always been favored 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 band’s main themes they’ve been exploring since their existence:
that there is dark humor 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
lover’s call to arms, 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.
Selofan is based in Athens/Greece. Joanna and Dimitris record since 2011
their analog stories at home, their sound can not really be identified
as they mix many different music genres and languages in order to
express deeply emotional, fatalistic music. They often use poetry in
different languages and have a unique live power, being very theatrical
in their shows. They played concerts and festivals around the world and
belong among the protagonists of Fabrika records.
