Nichts - yes, just that as a reflection of my current circumstances & thinkings of a life itself. Album is great! After a long, long time, brought me back to Selofan. I alwayas liked that cold-wave/dark-wave sound.
Favorite track: Nichts.

Through varied experimental synth-scapes conjured with keen ears for sound design, production, and theatrical aesthetics, Selofan rest not on the laurels of just creating highly danceable coldwave infused music, but with together with Joanna Pavlidou's haunting vocals, and Dimitris Pavlidis' throbbing bass guitar, and modular synth compositions, the pair conjure whole other worlds and narratives throughout each album and music video they create.
Thus far the Selofan have released 5 studio albums, issued through their own legendary label they curate themselves: Fabrika Records.
Through their Fabrika family, Selofan have championed such acts as Lebanon Hanover, and She Past Away, aiding these bands in becoming two of the most popular Darkwave acts worldwide.
In the Spring of 2020, Selofan released the video for the hopelessly plaintive "There Must Be Somebody", the first single from their forthcoming sixth studio album Partners In Hell, the follow-up to 2018's widely popular Vitrioli LP.
"There Must be Somebody" is a discordant composition, mimicking the startled song of birds after a disturbance in a wooded enclave on a mountainside, while a magic ritual unfolds.
The album itself opens with "Grey Gardens", a menagerie of morose melodies setting a sombre tone for the rest of a bleak record whose sound design and dreamscapes evoke the best sounds of British and German post-punk of the 80s.
"Almost Nothing" is a brooding bell-driven track with a dark and pirouetting melody that is the perfect soundtrack to a figurine twirling in a music box.
The German language "Nichts" means No, and this song is both sinister and cinematic with sighing keys, shuddering drum machines, and German lyrics sung with sorrowful conviction.
"Zusammen", is a word often asked if you are together, or separate, is a dark ballad whose shadowy keys weave a nightmarish delirium, evoking the soundscapes of a lullaby sung in a haunted dollhouse.
"4am" is a restless rhythm, whose soft percussive melody tosses and turns alongside subtle bass and string accents overlaid with despondent vocals.
"Happy Consumers" sounds like the swirling of a finger drawn upon the edge of crystalline glass, with vocals and drum machines coming emanating from an adjacent room with echoing acoustics, collectively evoking the sound like lingers when the somnambulist wakes from his dream.
"Absolutely Absent" hums onward like a phantom train ride that is a one-way ticket to madness, and with the next track "Metallic Isolation" the locomotive beats gather more steam, propelled forward with anachronistic melody.
The album closes with "Auf Deiner Haut", which translates as on your skin, and the song is both tactile and tenebrous with sensuously dark synth textures amidst howling German vocals that take flight like witches during a Sabbat.
Selofan is a death-inspired love-story, a match made in
heaven and hell. Since forming in
the cradle of Europe back in 2012, the Athens-based duo have paved their own perditious way,
reinventing the modern Dark Wave scene throughout the continent and worldwide with their prolific
creativity and work ethic over the past decade....more

J'ai découvert Minuit Machine par hasard et j'aime maintenant beaucoup. En ce qui concerne l'album Infrarouge, je l'apprécie un peu plus chaque fois, comme si je lui découvrais de nouvelles qualités. flabbe67
Dark post-punk with irresistible melodies, big synth washes, and punchy rhythms, designed for the modern goth club dancefloor. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 17, 2018
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
