Electronic London duo Severin have released their debut EP “Everything Breaks” on Tip Top Recordings. Danny Sanchez (beats / guitar / electronics) and Elizabeth Anne Martin (bass / synths / vocals) have recorded the EP with producer Rory Attwell (Test Icicles / Yuck).
Following a wave of blog hype and John Kennedy making the band his XFM X-posure hot-one, Severin's four-track debut is a blast of urgent, addictive noise on the first singles High Shot and Macabea before hypnotic late-night darkness takes over on Light//Water and 0806. This thunderous duo pull off a pop take on glitchy, shuddering electronica constructed with addictive guitar lines and grinding industrial beats to create an unconscious swaying groove for Martin’s haunting vocals to cut through.
