THE BREATH - Carry Your Kin (LP)

The Breath are Irish singer Rioghnach Connolly, Stuart McCallum (guitarist of The Cinematic Orchestra) and McCallum’s fellow Cinematic alumni, pianist John Ellis and drummer Luke Flowers. Born out of Manchester’s fertile music scene they mix Irish folk influences with mesmerizing guitar riffs, anthemic themes and powerful hooks. Connolly’s soulful vocals are interwoven into the electronic fabric of McCallum’s distinctive soundworld. In turns hypnotic, lush, powerfully raw and raucously punchy, their songs entrance, uplift and break your heart as The Breath conjure a kaleidoscope of sound that perfectly frames Connolly’s raw songs and soul cleansing vocals. Recorded in Manchester and at Real World Studios and mixed by sound guru Tchad Blake.
