Dævvskævv's Episode #3 was just released worldwide!

The third release from Dævvskævv was just released. Head to your favorite download and/or streaming service to give it a listen.

This is the third episode in Dævvskævv’s episodic series of releases, wherein each episode creates its own, tiny musical universe. This is also Dævvskævv’s third release in the span of just one year.

Dævvskævv has been known to take pride in their motto of "no regard for genre or genre boundaries", and as such this episode certainly represents something different when compared to previous releases. As for genres contained in this one, the range is perhaps narrower, with Dævvskævv focusing on electronic and synth based music, much of it recorded to analog tape. One might sum it up as a meeting of electronica, dance music, the alternative and the avant-garde - with a few orchestral elements thrown in for good measure.

Dævvskævv is Cecilie Langlie and Tom Simonsen.

All tracks composed, arranged and produced by Tom Simonsen.

Musicians:
Cecilie Langlie: Vocals.
Tom Simonsen: Guitars, various synths, one particularly inexpensive keyboard, tape machines, digital drums and programming.
Mira Ursic: Violins.

Cover artwork and Dævvskævv logos by Tom Simonsen.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Tom Simonsen at the Secret Quarters studios. Released by Secret Quarters Records.

Released through:
24-7, 7digital, 8tracks, Akazoo, Amazon MP3, Apple iTunes, CD Baby, Deezer, eMusic, Google Music Store, GreatIndieMusic, Groove, iHeartRadio, Inprodicon, Kdigital, MediaNet, Omnifone, Rhapsody, Shazam, Slacker Radio, SoundExchange, Spotify, Tidal, Tradebit, Yandex, YouTube Music.

Dævvskævv's Episode Two was just released worldwide!

No regard for genre or genre boundaries. Pop meets metal meets avant-garde meets whatever. This time some chip music is also thrown in there for good measure.

The accompanying artwork gives you the second episode of the ダッブスカッブちゃん manga, chronicling the adventures of the Dævvskævv mascot character and protagonist.
