ODESZA has announced the release of ‘Music To Refine To: A Remix Companion to Severance,’ a seven-track EP reimagining Theodore Shapiro’s Emmy-winning score from the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ series, Severance. The first track, “Entering Lumon,” is available for streaming now.
Set for digital release on April 4 via Foreign Family Collective, with a vinyl edition arriving June 20, the project brings ODESZA’s signature sound to the haunting and atmospheric compositions that define the series.
“When Apple reached out to us to remix the Severance score in January, we were ecstatic to play with the themes and atmosphere of the show,” says ODESZA. “We are huge fans of the series, and it was an absolute honor working with Theodore Shapiro’s original score. We hope both you and your ‘innie’ will enjoy the journey.”
A Unique Sonic Experience
The music was first introduced through an 8-hour visual/audio YouTube experience titled “Music To Refine To”, designed as a soundtrack for the severed employees, or “innies,” at Lumon Industries. The 23-minute seamless mix loops continuously over the full duration, immersing listeners in the show’s eerie and cerebral sonic world. Since its launch two weeks ago, the video has racked up over 2 million views, while ODESZA’s social media posts about the collaboration have amassed more than 3.5 million views.
The World of Severance
Severance, which just concluded its second season on March 21, follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) and his team at Lumon Industries, a workplace where employees have undergone a surgical procedure that divides their memories between work and personal life. Featuring a prestigious cast including Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus, and John Turturro, the series has received widespread acclaim. The New York Times called it “an engrossing thriller,” while The Guardian described it as “an impressively idiosyncratic thing, wholly itself and confident in its mission to make your mind implode.”
