What I Heard This Morning: Breton
I received an email via Sure Shot PR that was promoting Hemlock Recordings as well as their new acquisition, Breton. The band has a new EP out: A digital release entitled, Counter Balance. “RDI” is the song I sampled and it is a post-rock-meets-electronica mixture that seems to capitalize a bit on Foals, (an assessment all too accurately made in the press release by a writer for NME). The melodies they pick, though, are catchy and “RDI” really didn’t leave my head all day. They’re not typically a band I would discuss, but I thought Breton were intriguing enough to note.

Breton fuse brooding hip-hop, rock and electronica into an unmistakable signature sound. Expect anthemic vocals, driving synth hooks, heavy guitars and tough beats.
