Richmond, Virginia's solo project Breaths has returned with a new album which shows him moving away from the post black and doom metal elements of earlier releases and focusing on a heavier shoegaze style and this is a review of his self released and self titled 2024 album which will be released in July.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album before going into more of a shoegaze direction while all of the drum beats are programmed. Vocals are done in more of a clear style along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the heavier riffing also shows an influence of doom metal.
Elements of post and alternative rock are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while clean playing is also a very huge part of th4e album. The songs also add in a great amount of melody along with the guitar leads also being done in a very melodic style when they are introduced into the music and the whole album also sticks to a slower direction.
On this recording Brteaths focuses more on a heavy shoegaze style as well as adding in the heaviness of shoegaze at times. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover personal themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Breaths and if you are a fan of shoegaze, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fade Apart" "Dream Walking" "Hide In Starlight" and "Embody". 8 out of 10.
