SELOFAN IS A DEATH-INSPIRED LOVE-STORY. THE DUO WAS FORMED 2012 IN ATHENS. FROM THE BEGINNING THEY CREATED THEIR OWN MUSICAL ENVIROMENT AND EVERY TIME THEY OFFER US A GLIMBSE INTO IT, WE BECOME OVERWHELMED BY THE EMOTIONAL INTENSITY OF THEIR SOUND AND WORDS. IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS THEY GAVE US FIVE STUDIO ALBUMS, EACH ONE OF THEM POSSESING ITS OWN UNIQUE IDENTITY. SELOFAN AVOID THE COMFORT OF SETTLING IN ONE SOUND STYLE AND JUST KEEP EXPERIMENTING. DREAMY SAXOPHONE MELODIES FIND THEIR WAY THROUGH STRONG DRUM MACHINE BEATS, A NEW WAVE BASS RIFF AND POWERFULL HAUNTED FEMALE VOCALS, SINGING
OR STORYTELLING IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND PRESENTING THEMSELVES IN SUCH A THEATRICAL WAY, THAT EACH LIVE PERFORMANCE IS EMOTIONALLY OVERWHELMING. SELOFAN HAVE THEIR OWN MUSICAL AND AESTHETICAL IDENTITY, UNDERLINED BY THEIR ARTWORK AND VIDEOS AND ARE MEANWHILE A HOUSEHOLD NAME AMONG THE FANS OF THE GENRE.

Isolated Youth were formed in a small coastal city north of Stockholm on the first of March 2017 by brothers William & Axel Mårdberg along with Egon Westberg Larsson and Andreas Geidemark.

In early 2019, Fabrika Records released the band’s debut-EP “Warfare.” Reviewers on the international post-punk scene soon agreed that “Warfare” is a “brilliant” debut deserving worldwide recognition. “One of the most beautiful works of art that contemporary post-punk can be proud of having received in the last few decades,” Threshold magazine announces. CVLT Nation, in turn, lists Isolated Youth as “one of six post-punk bands you need to hear right now,” while Post-punk.com praises their stunningly “authentic early 80’s guitar based post-punk sound.” While reminiscent of what postpunk once was, Isolated Youth’s sound is yet distinctive and original. Ringing guitars, haunting drums and strong base lines are combined with vocals characterised by fragility and beauty.
