breathe sees Dylan Mattheisen (vocals/guitar) and his cousins Matt Chevalier (bass) and Billy Chevalier (drums) grapple with mental health, anxiety and mortality while actively pushing their own sonic boundaries. Their fifth full-length offering was recorded with longtime collaborator Greg Lindolm and established pop producer John Fields (All Time Low, Jimmy Eat World, Goo Goo Dolls) and melds the bands trademark math-rock, pop-punk, emo sound (with a few sprinkles of electronic and a touch of banjo) with a lyrical backbone set to remind us that we’re all in this together.
More than just a collection of songs, breathe serves as an emotional crutch in times of darkness, when we’re searching for understanding, when we need a friend. breathe is the band coming together to face their own demons, their own mortality, their own anxieties and their own self doubt. These ten new tracks are a collective reminder that as long as there are songs sung back as if our lives depend on them, we are never alone. breathe is an album that will flourish in its live setting where the intentions of the album can be echoed across the country.
Since their appearances in support of Luca Brasi in August last year, the trio have toured extensively across North America and Europe and are excited to cross the Pacific ocean to bring their visceral live show down under.
