Nicole Selivan was only 20 when she fled the war in her home country Ukraine, also leaving behind her budding career in music. Starting a new solo project in Brussels under the magical mystical name SALVIA, she teamed up with Arno De Ros and Tom Stokx (also of The Haunted Youth) to form her band. Tight bass and pulsing electronic drums give their music a gloomy energy akin to the dreampop, new wave and gothic alternative of bands like Boy Harsher, Current Joys, Lebanon Hanover and The Cure.
