Keep Shelly In Athens

Keep Shelly in Athens. Greek dream pop out of Kypseli, a dense old neighbourhood of Athens that the band's name puns on, formed in 2010 around an anonymous producer who goes only by the letters RΠЯ. The singer's chair has rotated: Sarah P. (2010–2014), then Myrtha (2014–2017), then Jessica Bell. Warm, Balearic-tinged downtempo with soaring vocals. 'Recollection' is a single from the debut album At Home (Cascine, 2013). They went from blog-hype 12-inch to the Coachella bill in 2012, barely two years after forming. Later albums include Now I'm Ready (2015), Philokalia (2017), Among Wolves (2023) and V.
