Broken Twin

Broken Twin

Broken Twin is the recording name of Danish singer-songwriter Majke Voss Romme. She writes and performs in a sparse setup that uses bass, piano, guitar, vocals and percussion, and her music is linked to indie and melancholic singer-songwriter styles.

Background and sound

She is from Denmark and works as a solo artist. Her songs are shaped by personal themes such as a feeling, an experience or a state of mind, and she says she prefers to write in private, on her own, before sharing the material with others. Her music draws on eerie northern atmospheres and is associated with artists including Feist, Nico and Antony and the Johnsons.

Recordings

Her EP Hold on to Nothing is made with her former bandmate after they work with several producers, then decide to produce the four songs themselves at their own pace. Brian Batz of Sleep Party People mixes the release and contributes the eerie sound often linked with his work.

Style

Broken Twin’s arrangements combine creaking piano benches, floating vocals and abrasive guitars, creating songs that move between nostalgia, loneliness and emotional tension.
