Velvet Condom (Alice Von and Oberst Panizza) de Berlin
Ya hace 2 años del disco de debut del duo de origen frances Velvet Condom, próximamente re-editaran el primer EP debut reamsterizado, una visión alemana del synthpop-new wave oscuro con otra cara más indie shoegaze, pero todo ello con elegancia y clase. Y en directo es cuando muestran su lado mas noise, aocmpañados por luces de neón y estroboscópicas para crear un espectáculo psicodélico-electro.
This album is hopefully only the first of many more releases, as this is one of the best independent (electro) pop records recently released…AND they play some of the finest indie guitar pop / shoegazer stuff heard since a long time…. This album could well be hottest release for this summer. (Enfant-terrible.nl)
“BEST UNSIGNED ELECTRO BAND” (Gothic Magazine)
As you probably have guessed by now, VELVET CONDOM is not your typical 80s revival party electro band dressed up in flashy colours and I won’t complain about it since they managed to mix the danceable pop elements of the genre to darker experimental ones ingeniously on this first album.

While most French electro bands just take the easy DAFT PUNK way turning into DJs who do nothing but play their own music on CDs at shows, you’ll still find some more underground minimalistic acts that have more in common with German robotic genre originators KRAFTWERK. (Veglam.com)
Dark, brooding Electronica reminiscent of early New Wave such as The Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division/New Order…(ReadtheFanzine.co.uk)
This amazing duo from Strasbourg creates an unique aesthetic of cold synth wave with elements of rough, but melodic post punk and shoegaze. (Remembrance-daze.com)
