Selofan is a darkwave and minimal synth band that hails from Athens, Greece, known for their mesmerizing blend of analogue synths, somber vocals, and atmospheric soundscapes that paint a brooding aesthetic characteristic of the genre. The duo, comprised of Joanna Badtrip and Dimitris Pavlidis, has been active in the underground music scene since their formation in 2011, captivating a dedicated fanbase with their emotionally charged and introspective music. Their work frequently touches upon themes of romanticism, existential dread, and social commentary, wrapped in a nostalgic embrace of 80s synthpop and gothic sensibilities.

With a discography that showcases a consistent evolution towards refining their sound, Selofan's most recent releases such as "Behind the Dunes" and "Partners in Hell" further cement their status as pivotal figures in the contemporary darkwave movement. Albums like "Vitrioli" and "Cine Romance" exhibit their adeptness at creating cinematic narratives through music, while tracks like "Auf Deiner Haut" and "There Must Be Somebody" reveal their versatility in merging melodies with poignant lyrics. As they continue to tour and produce new content, Selofan remains a beacon for those seeking solace in the shadowy corners of the synth-laden music world, proving that there's beauty to be found in the more somber and introspective aspects of life.
