S U R V I V E

The music created by Austin, Texas-based analog electronic quartet S U R V I V E is a fresh update of vintage horror and sci-fi film scores as well as experimental ambient music and minimal wave. Their recorded output ranges from long-form space explorations to hazy lo-fi electro, and their concerts are momentous occasions. Founded in 2009 by Adam Jones, Kyle Dixon, Mark Donica, and Michael Stein, all prominent members of Austin's highly productive synthesizer community, the group's output includes a self-titled debut LP (Mannequin, 2012) and RR7349 (Relapse, 2016), along with cassette, 7", and EP releases. Dixon and Stein composed music for the sci-fi/horror series Stranger Things, which instantly received acclaim when its first season was aired in July 2016. ~ Paul Simpson
