With an air of mystique, Athens, Greece-based Keep Shelly in Athens combine ambient bedroom electro-pop, chillwave, and Ibiza house music influences to create a uniquely somber take on disco. In 2010, the boy/girl (presumably) duo released its debut EP, In Love with Dusk, and it became a blog hit. In 2011, Forest Family, the label run by Gorilla vs. Bear and Weekly Tape Deck, released the 12 Our Own Dream, and Planet Mu made arrangements for a follow-up EP titled Campus Martius at the years end.
