Background
Critical reception
According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Severant received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 83 out of 100 from 13 critic scores.[2]
Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor stated, "While it shares the synth preoccupation of previous Kuedo material, Severant owes nothing to dubstep, instead modeling itself after '80s synth music."[13] Patric Fallon of XLR8R called the album "a massive step away from Teasdale's past output" and "one that is confidently sure-footed."[16] Jon O'Brien of AllMusic stated, "An intriguing sonic experience from start to finish, Severant is a bold left-field first offering from an artist who's quickly establishing himself as the intelligent dance scene's 'one to watch.'"[7] Joe Colly of Pitchfork commented that Severant "brings together expressive synth work and cinematic sweep with a degree of nuance and, well, prettiness that's frankly kind of surprising."[12]
