Tweet Bre-ton or Bret-on? That's the fundamental question that must first be addressed. How do we pronounce their name? Anyone? No? Ok, I'm calling them Gary then. I can say that. We've been following Gary ( Breton ) for a while now , in fact this is our 9th post featuring them. FANS! Experience of the band suggests that listening to Breton is sometimes like listening to an angry Dalek have a prolonged cardiac arrest. In a good way though... [...]

Ciertamente (y afortunadamente) no estamos a mitad de la semana, cuando normalmente hacemos esto de las recomendaciones, sin embargo, nunca está de más conocer a una banda nueva, especialmente una tan interesante como ésta. Breton es el nombre de este grupo que nació como como tal en el 2010. Sus cuatro integrantes tienen su base en un viejo banco abandonado en South East London, donde han podido trabajar no sólo su música sino toda una experiencia multimedia que incluye la dirección de videos para gente como The Temper Trap , Sinead O'Connor y Tricky, además de filmes [...]

Breton are more then your average London band, they are a unique blend of artistic talent that is combined with the arts of music and film. There is a unique mystic about them and their associated BretonLABS name tag. They currently have a fantastic EP that you can pick up for free on their Facebook page titled Blanket Rule EP . They are also set up to release their debut album Other People's Problems on March 27th via FatCat Records. You can take a listen and check out the video for 'The Commission' [...]

It's difficult to pin Breton down. As far as pigeonholing them to one particular genre is concerned there's no hope, from house beats to guitar riffs, they're about as eclectic as it gets. Equally challenging however is putting your finger on exactly what it is that makes them so alluring, somehow it all just works.   As if the music wasn't enough Breton or BretonLABS as the collective tends to be termed, indulge in visuals just as much as the they do audio, their live shows as memorable for the backdrop of self-shot videos [...]

Tweet When I was in year 8 at school I played for the football team, more correctly the 'B' team. I made one appearance and it remains the pinnacle of my sporting career (I'm still trying to erase memories of my sole appearance for the year 7 rugby team and my 4 lonely games for the year 9 cricket team, I didn't bowl & batted at 11). The 'B' team consisted of all the 'above average but could do better' players, a bunch [...]

( email | facebook | twitter ) An urgent, infectious, two-chord fire alarm from their forthcoming debut Other People’s Problems , available through Fat Cat Records on November 21. Interesting clip, too, featuring shots from photographer/film-maker Niall O'Brien's recent Anger exhibition. We might have to put this one on the watchlist. Embed is just below.

Art pop architects  Breton are releasing a stunning new video to accompany their new song  ‘The Commission’. It’s a strikingly beautiful song with a black heart and overwhelming sense of inevitable foreboding. The accompanying video perfectly encapsulates this. It was directed by  BretonLABS and  Stuart Sinclair , a motion graphics artist who makes computer generated clips of space and satellites. Breton front man - artistic experimentalist, songwriter and filmmaker  Roman Rappak, invited Sinclair to collaborate on the video. The actor is  Patrick Lyons , a beat poet from Boston [...]

Tweet Breton are back. We're big fans, like y'know, BIG. We featured them way, way back in the depths of 2010 and have followed their progress since here , here , oh and here too . Right, oh, also here . Earlier in the summer they slipped into the studio to start work on their debut album Other People's Problems due out in February 2012. In advance of that they're releasing a double [...]

In fine ambient fashion, the BretonLABS collective deliver "The Commission". It's our first glance at their fourthcoming debut Other People’s Problems LP expected February 2012. Breton - the Commission by bretonlabs Breton ( Twitter ) ( Facebook ) Rating 8.2

Un nouveau post pour vous faire découvrir Breton . Non non, la Bretagne n'est pas leur pays natal. The Commission est un titre obscur, très planant, avec une voix à la James Blake, et un clip inter galactique. Ce titre ouvre leur projet futur, Other People’s Problems , leur tout premier album qui sortira février 2012 chez Fat Cat Records. Breton - The Commission

And so yet another split-up band feature on FT. Again, I feel they deserved much more recognition than they got and hope that, with this post, I can at least enlighten a few people to the greatness of ‘The Upper Room’. A pop-rock band from Brighton, they made melancholic music with lyrics that recalled Morrissey and music that vaguely resembled a softer Joy Divison (or even Smiths, again). Miller, the vocalist and guitarist, wrote songs of broken-down relationships and, generally, misery. These themes are starkly contrasted by the reasonably upbeat music, in typical Smiths-fashion. They were [...]
