THE EUROPEAN is a new solo project from musician, artist and software designer Simon Break (formerly of ICEBREAKER INTERNATIONAL and PIANO MAGIC). Influenced by classic pop, computer music, seventies minimalism and vintage blues and folk, THE EUROPEAN rejects the staple pop subject matter of romance and facile self-actualisation in favour of themes of compromise, frustration, psychosexual angst and cultural confusion.
The European's music is at one level simplistic and melancholic, but at another Break's unusual use of instrumentation and software give it a lingering and mesmerising edge - Rough Trade
