Duoen Selofan som udgav "Partners In Hell" i 2020 gæster Stengade d. 16 april med en omgang synth / coldwave. Særlige gæster denne aften bliver danske Torch.
Selofan:
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.

+ Special Guests: Torch
Torch:
Torch is a dark wave/post-punk band from Aarhus, Denmark.
Their sound is enticing, omnious and freezing cold. Armed with cold drum machine, chorusy guitar, fretless bass, sharp synths and distant, massive vocals Torch beat into you their take on modern dark wave music. The inspiration draws on gothic post-punk, melancholic cold wave and rumbling EBM, and in this way it is safe to expect both distressing, longing songs and bleak, sweaty bangers from Torch.
In less than two years Torch have played concerts across Germany, England and Sweden as well as a sold out debut cassette release at the legendary, now closed, Aarhus venue Tape. The debut EP was followed by two equally hard-hitting and beautiful singles mixed by John R. Mirland, who has worked with Leæther Strip. In 2022 Torch expect to release a debut album.
At live shows Torch is a well-oiled machine, which drags you down into the abyss that is their sound. Their aesthetics are attached with much importance, and the three musicians typically stand dressed in black among roses and candles. Consistent, hair-raising and seductive.
Torch is made up of Benjamin Lind Holm (vocals and synth), Ivik Rosing-Johsen (vocals and guitar) and Josefine Hjulskov Valler (bass).
