Dreamy downtempo that will immerse you in nostalgic and melancholic autumn nights! Keep Shelly in Athens, the electronic dream-pop duo based in Athens, Greece, has completed their third album, \"Philokalia,\" featuring Jessica Bell, who also works as a novelist\/poet, as their new vocalist! They have previously released albums on various reputable labels such as Forest Family Records, Transparent Records, Planet Mu, Cascine, and Friends of Friends, but this time they are releasing on their own label, Athenian Aura Recordings. The downtempo electronic sound, with its melodic beats and dreamy vocals enveloped in an ambient atmosphere, remains the same, but while drawing on the previous style, the slightly lower, more soulful vocals of new vocalist Jessica are key, giving rise to a new charm. The album opens with the smooth dream-pop track \"Leave In Silence,\" which was also the first single, rising with atmospheric synth layers and building in unity with the slow beat and vocals, followed by \"Marionette,\" where Jessica's sharp and soulful vocals pierce through a mysterious mood reminiscent of Portishead. After that, the album traverses various musical styles, such as the floating Balearic title track \"Philokalia\" and \"Seattle,\" which evokes the glittering vibes of the 80s, showcasing a chill yet danceable and varied development. The bonus track \"Harder,\" included only on the Japanese edition, is a smoky, two-step-style beat reminiscent of Burial's \"Archangel.\" Dark synth layers and Jessica's emotionally rich vocals intertwine in a dramatically soaring track that is incredibly captivating. Once hailed as a modern-day Saint Ettienne, they have steadily developed their originality with each release, blending trendy elements with a nostalgic and melancholic feel, ultimately digesting and elevating them into their own unique sound.
