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

Let's hold reset
Let's talk about the time
I thought you had (tourettes?)
Let's dine in style
Let's not go out
Let's just make sure that we just never go without
It steps in time
And drags it's heels
It panders to the weakest
A fossil fuel
In case you find
In case you find
A richer seam
It's a mechanism you've come to rely on
It's a skeleton
It's a skeleton

Breton's song "Interference" seems to be about the need for change and resetting of relationships, behaviours and patterns to prevent becoming stagnant or fossilized. The first verse talks about moving the dial and holding reset, which could be interpreted as wanting to change something, possibly a relationship, and starting over or refreshing it. The next line "Let's talk about the time, I thought you had (tourettes?)" suggests that there may have been some miscommunication in the past or some issues that were not fully addressed, causing some confusion or misunderstandings. The next verse talks about dining in style and not going out, which could signify an inclination towards staying in, being comfortable and enjoying the company of one another. The last line of the verse "Let's just make sure that we just never go without" suggests that they may need each other and need to work on the relationship to keep it going.
The chorus talks about time and how it moves, either stepping in time or dragging its heels, and how it panders to the weakest, referring to fossil fuel. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for how we rely on certain things or patterns, even if they are not sustainable or beneficial, because they are comfortable or easy. The last lines of the chorus suggest that there may be better options or opportunities out there, but we need to actively seek them out.
The last verse talks about the mechanism we rely on, which is described as a skeleton, possibly referring to our ingrained habits, beliefs, or traditions. The final lines of "It's a mechanism you've come to rely on, it's a skeleton, it's a skeleton" could suggest that we need to break away from this skeleton and look for new ways of doing things to prevent becoming fossilized and stagnant.

Let's move the dial
Let's change the channel, shift our perspective
Let's hold reset
Let's start over, wipe the slate clean
Let's talk about the time
Let's discuss our past, reminisce and reflect
I thought you had (tourettes?)
I assumed you had some uncontrollable urges or habits
Let's dine in style
Let's have a sophisticated meal at home, with fine cuisine and atmosphere
Let's not go out
Let's avoid the chaos and noise of the outside world
Let's just make sure that we just never go without
Let's ensure we always have what we need, even if it means sacrificing some luxuries or desires
It steps in time
Time moves consistently and predictably
And drags its heels
Yet sometimes it feels slow and unproductive
It panders to the weakest
Time accommodates those who are struggling, giving them extra attention and resources
A fossil fuel
Time is a finite resource, like oil or coal
In case you find
If you happen upon something valuable
In case you find
If you stumble upon a hidden gem
A richer seam
Treasure or wealth can be found within time, if you look hard enough
It's a mechanism you've come to rely on
Time is a system that we depend on for regularity and structure
It's a skeleton
Time is the foundation and structure for our lives
It's a skeleton
Time is the bare bones of existence
