That's a nice surprise!
Breton are a band I was pushing for hardcore long before TISFWO came about. They're a London based group mixing hip-hop influenced machine drum beats with synths, guitar, bass and fuzzy, laconic, thoughtful vocals. It's been a bit quiet in the Breton camp for a while, I think because the album launched and they've been going around touring it and doing this and that in France. They're back with the new instrumental "Little Knives."
The hip-hop influence comes though in a big way on this one! It's a really breezy sounding piano and strings beat which would be happily at home behind some Talib Kweli vocals. It's taken from their new EP and book "Escalation." which is limited to 250 copies and can be pre-ordered now over here ahead of it's March 28th release.
Again, Breton is a band I watch pretty closely, so news as and when!
