Velvet Condom, an electronic duo hailing from Strasbourg, France, seamlessly blends the cold sharpness of post-punk with the seductive undercurrents of synthpop, carving out a niche in the underground music scene. The band comprises Alice Gift and Oberst Panizza, who together craft a soundscape that is both icy and erotically charged, delivering a sound that harkens back to the 80s while feeling undeniably contemporary. With their signature style, they've managed to capture the attention of listeners who yearn for the brooding melodies and mechanical rhythms of yesteryear, but with a modern twist.

Their discography includes a collection of works that showcase their versatility and ability to evolve while maintaining a coherent aesthetic. Notable releases such as "Vanity and Revolt" and "Stadtgeil" demonstrate the band's penchant for creating atmospherically dark and danceable tracks. The "VC" album and EPs like "Safe & Elegant" further cement their reputation for delivering a high-octane fusion of bleak lyricism and catchy electronic beats, making Velvet Condom a standout entity in the genre of cold wave and dark electro. Their ability to remix their sound as seen in "Kalter Lippenstift (In Death It Ends Remix)" and to reimagine other artist's tracks like "Tigre (Velvet Condom Remix)" exemplifies their inventive and collaborative spirit. Despite their enigmatic presence, one thing is for sure, Velvet Condom continues to be a luxurious hybrid of glam and gloom, appealing to enthusiasts of both synth-heavy and gothic strains of music.
