Selofan : Partners in Hell - CD Selofan : Partners in Hell - CD  Ref: 22424 Thus far SELOFAN released 5 studio albums, issued on their own label FABRIKA. 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. Drab Majesty even cameoed in a She Past Away video while being hosted by Selofan during one of the band's frequent stays in Athens, and Kaelan Mikla, a handpicked favorite of The Cure, were first championed by Selofan, through the release of the Icelandic Trio's self-titled debut in 2016.

The CD is unlimited, comes in Digipak, including a lyrics booklet and contains the same tracks as the two limited Vinyls above

The new Album, Track by Track :

The album 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 In Spring of 2020, Selofan released the video for the hopelessly plaintive “ There must be Somebody ”, the first single off this album – a discordant composition, mimicking the startled song of birds after a disturbance ina wooded enclave on a mountainside, while a magick ritual unfolds. The German language “ Nichts ” means Nothing, 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 “ Metalic 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. Partner's In Hell was mixed and produced by Serafim Tsotsonis, and mastered by Doruk Ozturkcan.
