Breathers Announce Reveal Details of Debut LP 'Designed To Break'

Atlanta based experimental pop/synth pop threesome Breathers have revealed full details of their highly anticipated debut album 'Designed To Break'.

The 11-track album will be out on September 12 through Irrelevant Music, and features their previously shared songs "1​-​800​-​PAIN" and "Only Operator". Pre-order your copy here.

According to the press release, each song on the album, is a refreshingly honest dive into the modern human psyche balanced with vibrant synth lines that capture the imagination and drip like dew into our parched subconscious.

Over the past few years, Breathers have laid the groundwork for Designed to Break with a series of insightful tracks featuring T. Lee Gunselman and Jake Thomson on synths and vocals, with Mike Netland providing live drums and sequencing. The result is a danceable mix of organic and synthetic sounds that warp traditional song structures into something subversive yet enticing.

Throughout this album, lead singer and lyricist Gunselman offers thoughtful observations on isolation and anxiety, focusing on the corresponding weaknesses and strengths of the human spirit, and the importance of listening to oneself apart from the cacophony of an increasingly commercialized world. Each topic is couched in a comforting sensitivity which plays off the spacious chords and delicate melodies of Designed to Break.

Check out the tracklist below.

Watch: The Twilight Sad Air "I/m Not Here [missing face]" Music Video

Scottish post punk trio The Twilight Sad have aired the video for their latest single "I/m Not Here [missing face]".

The song is part of our current playlist and came out last month (July 10) via Rock Action Records. Get it here.

Band member Andy MacFarlane said of the track: "I was attempting to play 'Ogives' by Erik Satie, but I'm really shit at the piano so it didn't happen, but I came up with the music using those chord shapes. So from my perspective, it's a bad cover version of that piece of music." 

The video was directed by Brendan Jay Smith. Check out below.
