Breton - War Room Stories

Review by Kat Waplington

Breton make electronic music with indie overtones, not the other way around, and in so doing, still manage to stand out from the crowd.»

Breton will release of their much anticipated second album 'War Room Stories' on Cut Tooth/Believe Recordings. The album was written during a year spent touring incessantly and playing festivals across the world. It was recorded this summer at the Funkhaus in Berlin - a building with the same otherworldly weirdness as Breton's beloved creative HQ, The Lab in south London, which was demolished last summer to make way for luxury flats. Breton also employed the services of the Macedonian Radio Symphonic Orchestra who appear on five tracks throughout the album. The band recorded the tracks earmarked for orchestration on a laptop, translated them into sheet music and flew to Macedonia where the 44 piece orchestra then played them live in the studio.
