Selohrae ask what it means to be present with 'Staring At Your Phone'

22 Aug 2025 — 1 min read

There’s a certain sting in Selohrae’s latest single Staring At Your Phone. It’s not about distraction, it’s about disconnection. The kind that creeps in and goes unnoticed. In a world where attention is currency, the band takes aim at one of the quietest but most universal heartbreaks of modern life: feeling unseen in real time.

What makes the track stand out isn’t just its theme but the way it's delivered. The groove is warm and hypnotic, the synths shimmer like neon against the night, yet there is melancholy threaded through the harmonies. It is danceable, but it also lingers in your chest long after it ends. That duality, moving bodies while tugging at something deeper, is where Selohrae are at their strongest.

For a band that started as teenagers and grew into adulthood together, Staring At Your Phone feels like a checkpoint. A song that acknowledges change, calls for presence, and signals a sharper artistic intent. In the end, Staring At Your Phone is less about technology and more about intimacy. It is about the small ways we show love, or forget to, and how easy it is to miss the beauty of now.
