Asphalt Savannahs

Savan DePaul (they/them, she/her, dey/dem), who also goes by the sound collage/post-industrial moniker Asphalt Savannahs, is a singer, rapper, producer, engineer, and visual artist living in West Philadelphia. DePaul's decade-long career encompasses many styles, from abstract hip hop polemics to futuristic R&B experiences to dance pop anthems. The Asphalt Savannahs project puts all of those sounds in the arena of psychedelic-electro-acoustic noise as an exercise in trauma processing and crushing catharsis. Her debut album under this name, "STAYING BEHOLDEN TO ETERNAL JAZZ AND BLACKENED SUPERNOVAE OF REVENGE!!!": Circumstantial Evidence Against the Prism Bender's Righteous Struggle, released on the 27th of December, 2024. She is currently making an experimental film based on the album and embarks on a spring 2024 tour of her own.
