New York, NY (Top40 Charts) ODESZA have today announced the release of 'Music To Refine To: A Remix Companion to Severance'. The three-time Grammy-nominated duo have teamed up with the hit Apple TV+ show Severance across a new 7-track EP, adding their unique signature to the unmistakable sounds of Theodore Shapiro's Emmy Award-winning compositions. The first track, "Entering Lumon", is available for streaming now.
'Music To Refine To: A Remix Companion to Severance' will be available digitally on April 4th via Foreign Family Collective, with a vinyl release set to follow on June 20th.
"When Apple reached out to us to remix the Severance score in January we were so ecstatic to play with the themes and atmosphere of the show," expressed ODESZA. "We are huge fans of the series and it was an absolute honor working with the original score by Theodore Shapiro. We hope both you and your innie will enjoy the journey."
The music was first introduced as an 8-hour visual/audio YouTube experience titled "Music To Refine To" - serving as a playful nod to the idea of a soundtrack for your 'innie' at work. The seamless 23-minute mix loops continuously over the full duration, immersing listeners in the various motifs, tones, and atmospheres of the show. Since its launch two weeks ago, the video has been viewed more than 2 million times, while ODESZA's social posts about the collaboration have reached more than 3.5 million views in the same period.
The multi-award-winning show, which concluded its second season last Friday, March 21 and has already been renewed for a third season, sees Mark Scout (Adam Scott) lead a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. With a prestigious cast that also includes Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus and John Turturro, the show has been called "an engrossing thriller" by the New York Times and "an impressively idiosyncratic thing, wholly itself and confident in its mission to make your mind implode" by The Guardian.
ODESZA most recently concluded their record-breaking The Last Goodbye Finale tour with eleven sold-out dates, including three consecutive nights at Madison Square Garden, capping off a live-show run that saw the duo perform in front of over 1.5 million people in just 2 years. Their music has been streamed almost 6 billion times across streaming platforms to date, and over the past few years they also released a 10 year anniversary edition of their seminal 2014 album 'In Return', released their awe-inspiring immersive concert film "ODESZA: The Last Goodbye Cinematic Experience" in theaters around the country, captured the magic of their groundbreaking tour with 'The Last Goodbye Tour Live' album, and headlined a gamut of major festivals including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Austin City Limits, Electric Forest, Gov Ball, among others.
