History

breathe. formed within the inner-west of Sydney, Australia. Founded by Andrew Grant. [1] and Sean Walker (a founding member of the atmospheric band Movement [2] )

breathe. released their debut single Are You All Good? in September 2018 via the label Silk, [3] [4] . Accompanied by an emotive music video created with cinematographer Tim Nagle. [5] [6] the track quickly drew attention.

Their follow-up single London [7] was premiered by Complex [8] , earning praise from The Line of Best Fit who compared their music to "the beauty of a peaceful night." [7]

By 2019, their third single, Haze cemented their growing profile [9] [10] . Directed by Dave May of Tall Story Films. [10] Critics and artists alike began to take notice: their sound was labelled "late night soul" and "brilliantly minimalistic." [11] . Rufus du Sol described the music as a "sultry underworld that pulls you right in", while Ta-ku said the band's music "hit me right in my feelings." [12]

As their audience expanded globally, comparisons to Moses Sumney and Michael Kiwanuka, [13] surfaced, with Hypebeast reviewing Haze as an "atmospheric" song that gives off a "ghostly yet lovesick vibe." [10]

Seven years after their formation, breathe. released their debut album For Your Darkest Days. A collection of both new and old tracks, it reflects the evolution of the band and their signature late-night sound.
