Breton began life in a warehouse somewhere in South East London. Born from the creative force of musicians and filmmakers Roman Rappak and Adam Ainger and expanded recently into a multi-instrumental and visual collective with the inclusion of Ian Patterson and Daniel McIlvenny. This year, the very limited and quickly snapped-up EP Practical floated between “eerie and carnival-esque. Combining elements of math-rock, post-rock, straight-up Electro and even tropical” – Abeano.com. The second E.P. in the trilogy, entitled Sharing Notes, follows on Monday 5th July. The physical copy of this E.P. will come mounted on a hand-made circuit board with a list of components and directions which, when followed, creates a fully working synth.
Under the guise BretonLABS, Breton run a slick operation of audio/visual experimentation. Remixes have been created for the likes of Is Tropical, Hatcham Social and Penguin Prison. Their short films have screened at both the London Short Film Festival and the East London Film Festival, with Breton performing a live soundtrack. Their celebrated music videos - Penguin Prison, NewIsland, 80’s Matchbox B-Line Disaster – adorn all in-the-know blogs.
Breton are the glaring beacons of the mp3 generation; the generation of immediate access to music and visuals, where careers and genres spanning decades, cultures and the globe are spread wide open for the taking, downloading and mixing into billions of individual, eclectic and genre-defying playlists. With such light speed assimilation of influences - spanning from The Beach Boys to Minimal House, Dub-Step to David Bowie, Bjork to East Coast Hip-Hop and a noticeable chunk of Post-Punk, Breton create wholly individual songs, with the end result being a blasting, constantly evolving sonic assault.
Absorbing all, yet mixing it up into wholly individual songs building imposing razor sharp electronics, Post-Punk and Art-Rock that sounds like nothing else.

Breton Lyrics

It's not love if you wait for it
It's not love if pay for it
Then take some turns
It's not love if you aim for it
It's not love if you wait for it
It's not love if you never knew anyone there
Tell me what you told them I'll be part of it
You quit the crucial second scene that you started with
Lost the cost to stay where they are
'Cause you're a tourist
There's nothing wrong with that
What you never coulda' noticed, is how your bags were packed
It's how the odds were stacked against you
You're only here as long as, you're only here as long they rented it to you
'Cause you're a tourist
(Ah) There's nothing wrong with that
What you never coulda' noticed, is how your bags were packed
It's how the odds were stacked against you
You're only here as long as, you're only here as long they rented it to you
I'll tell you what if the queues died down
And, we'll cover you up and we'll sit by the exit
I'll tell you what we'll refuse to die or die alone
I'll tell you what if the queues died down
And, we'll cover you up and we'll sit by the exit
I'll tell you what we'll refuse to die or die alone
'Cause you're a tourist
There's nothing wrong with that
What you never coulda' noticed, is how your bags were packed
It's how the odds were stacked against you
You're only here as long as, you're only here as long they rented it to you
'Cause you're a tourist

Breton's "Envy" talks about the concept of love and how it cannot be forced or bought. The lyrics suggest that if someone is waiting for love, aim for it, or pay for it, it is not true love. The song emphasizes that one cannot force love but rather it happens organically.
The lyrics, "Tell me what you told them I'll be part of it" could suggest that the singer is trying to fit into someone else's narrative or trying to mold themselves into someone else's idea of a partner. They try to be a part of someone else's story, but in the end, they find themselves caught up in someone else's facade.
Additionally, the line "You're only here as long as, you're only here as long they rented it to you" could represent how people are transient and only temporary. It highlights how outsiders are seen and treated like tourists, and they don't have a permanent place here.
Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary tale about how one can't force love and how it's best to be true to oneself rather than trying to conform to someone else's idea of love.
Line by Line Meaning
It's not love if you aim for it
Love cannot be achieved by setting specific goals
It's not love if you wait for it
Love cannot be found by simply waiting
It's not love if you pay for it
Paying for love does not make it true love
Then take some turns
Changing the course of a relationship does not change its authenticity
It's not love if you never knew anyone there
True love requires a personal connection and familiarity with the other person
Tell me what you told them I'll be part of it
I want to be involved in what you told them about us
You quit the crucial second scene that you started with
You left the important moment when we started building our relationship
Lost the cost to stay where they are
You lost the value of staying committed to our relationship
'Cause you're a tourist
You are just passing through
There's nothing wrong with that
It is okay to explore, but not at the cost of someone else's emotions
What you never coulda' noticed, is how your bags were packed
You never realized how your actions affected us
It's how the odds were stacked against you
It was unlikely that our relationship would work out
You're only here as long as, you're only here as long they rented it to you
You are only committed to us as long as it is convenient for you
I'll tell you what if the queues died down
I will share with you if things become calm
And, we'll cover you up and we'll sit by the exit
We will protect and support you in difficult times
I'll tell you what we'll refuse to die or die alone
We will fight to stay together and not be alone

open your ears buddies, these are the true words of this figurative song:
It's not love if you aim for it
it's not love if you wait for it
it's not love if you pay for it
then take some turns
it's not love if you aim for it
it's not love if you wait for it
it's not love if you never knew anyone there
tell me what you told them I'll be part of it
you quit the crucial sound scene that you started with
lost the cost to stay where they are
'cos you're a tourist
there's nothing wrong with that
what you never couldn't noticed, is how your bags were packed
it's how the odds were stacked against you
you're only here as long as, you're only here as long they rented it to you
'cos you're a tourist
(ah) there's nothing wrong with that ...(x2)
I'll tell you what if the queues died down
and, we'll cover you up and we'll sit by the exit
I'll tell you what we'll refuse to die or die alone
'cos you're a tourist...(chorus x2 to the end).

Lyrics for you :):
Its not love if you aim for it.
Its not love if you wait for it.
Its not love if you paid for it.
It takes some turns.
Its not love if you aim for it.
Its not love if you wait for it.
Its not love if you never knew anyone else.
Tell me what you told them,
I'll be part of it.
Include the crucial second scene,
that you started with.
Plaster casts that stay just where they are.
Cos you’re a tourist.
Theres nothing wrong with that,
what you never could have noticed
Is how your bags were packed.
Its how the odds were stacked against you,
Your only here as long as they rented it to you.
Cos you’re a tourist,
Theres nothing wrong with that.
What you never could have noticed,
Is how your bags were packed
I tell you what
If the queues died down
and we cover you up
and we sit by the exit
I tell you what we'll refuse to die
(we'll die alone)
I tell you what
If the queues died down
and we cover you up
and we sit by the exit
I tell you what we'll refuse to die
(we'll die alone)

SENİN İZİNDEYİZ ATAM!
Es ist keine Liebe, wenn du zielst
nicht lieben, wenn du wartest
nicht lieben, wenn Sie bezahlen
dann in einer kleinen Reihenfolge
Wenn Sie nicht lieben wollen
nicht lieben, wenn du wartest
Es ist keine Liebe, wenn man dort niemanden kennt
Sag ihnen, was du gesagt hast, ich werde ein Teil davon sein
Sie haben die wichtige Klangbühne verlassen, von der Sie ausgegangen sind
verlor die Kosten für den Aufenthalt, wo sie waren
weil du ein Tourist bist
Daran ist nichts auszusetzen
Was Sie nie bemerkt haben, ist, wie die Taschen verpacken
wie sich die Möglichkeiten gegen dich häuften
Du bist nur hier, nur solange sie an dich vermieten
weil du ein Tourist bist
(ah) daran ist nichts auszusetzen ... (x2)
Ich werde Ihnen sagen, ob die Warteschlangen ausgehen
und wir werden dich vertuschen und uns neben den Ausgang setzen
Ich sage dir, wir weigern uns zu sterben oder alleine zu sterben
weil du ein Tourist bist ... (bis zum Ende des Chores x2).
