CMU Approved
Approved: Breton
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 24 June 2010
Breton’s base is a warehouse in south east London, where they write music and make films. The music is a blend of electro, post-punk, art-rock, hip hop and more besides. Although the songs are recognisably Breton, each seems to have been approached as a standalone piece. The progression of their sound is not necessarily dictated by what they have done before.
It’s not all making music and shooting films down at the Breton warehouse, though. Some of their time is spent building circuitry. Or at least it has been recently. New EP, ‘Sharing Notes’ is due for release via youWILLBEfollowing on 5 Jul and a very limited number of physical copies will come mounted on a circuit board, which (using the components and instructions provided) can be turned into a fully working synth.
Watch that happen right in front of your eyes in the video for EP track ’15X’ and then head to the band’s SoundCloud profile for more.
