Breton announce debut album | Video: The Commission

BRETON

Debut album ‘Other People’s Problems’ - Released on Fat Cat Records - February 2012

THE COMMISSION (album track) - VIDEO

Art pop architects Breton are releasing a stunning new video to accompany their new song ‘The Commission’. It’s a strikingly beautiful song with a black heart and overwhelming sense of inevitable foreboding. The accompanying video perfectly encapsulates this. It was directed by BretonLABS and Stuart Sinclair, a motion graphics artist who makes computer generated clips of space and satellites. Breton front man - artistic experimentalist, songwriter and filmmaker Roman Rappak, invited Sinclair to collaborate on the video. The actor is Patrick Lyons, a beat poet from Boston – and legend on the south London squat party scene. The pair met when Breton started out and regularly played the squat party circuit.

‘The Commission’ is taken from Breton’s forthcoming debut album, ‘Other People’s Problems’, due for release in February 2012 on Fat Cat Records. It’s the follow up to their critically acclaimed ‘Counter Balance’ EP, which was released in December last year on Hemlock, the specialist label responsible for launching the careers of James Blake and Fantastic Mr Fox. The EP was lauded by the blogs, raved about by the likes of Dazed & Confused, Clash and The Fly and championed by key tastemakers at radio, in particular Mr Huw Stephens.

Under the moniker BretonLABS, the band have delivered innovative remixes for Local Natives, Tricky, Maps & Atlases, Tom Vek, Temper Trap and made videos for Penguin Prison, 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster and Flats.

Breton recently supported Tom Vek on his sold out comeback tour of the UK.

Introducing: Age of Consent

AGE OF CONSENT

THE BEACH – 05.09.11

London based duo Age of Consent release their debut single “The Beach” on September 5th 2011.

Age of Consent are Joe Reeves and Darren Cullen, former members of Shitdisco.

Since leaving Shitdisco, they have set up their own studio in East London and started working on new material as well as producing great remixes for the likes of Gary Numan, La Roux and Yuksek among others.

They make dark, dystopian gothic-pop influenced by bands and production duos such as The Knife, Suicide and Yeasayer.

Their debut single “The Beach” was recorded in a 16th century Italian farmhouse with producer Luke Smith who has previously worked with Depeche Mode, Foals and Crystal Fighters.

   The Beach by ageofconsent

Directed by Gareth Phillips (Cat's Eyes, Is Tropical) the video references the French Situationist movement and their idea; “Sous le paves. la plage” / “Beneath the pavement, the beach”. Drawing upon dream-like imagery, it explores the desire to escape from normality.



In only a few months of playing live, Age of Consent have taken their drum heavy live show to Italy and Austria. They have played with The Drums, Fiction, Is Tropical, Koudlam & Tiga. They have already confirmed a few live dates, with more to be announced soon:

 05 August – London, @ The Silver Bullet, Finsbury Park

13 August – London, @ The Nest, Dalston

12 August – Chichester, I Am Joy Festival @ The Vestry

10 September - London @ ? Bar/Question Mark Bar - Single Launch Party: Age of Consent (Live), Klaxons (Dj) and more TBC

17 September – London, Sound Tracks Festival @ Concrete Space, Shoreditch
