History

Breathe was formed in Sydney in 2018. The band was founded by Sean Walker, who had founded the Australian "minimal soul" band Movement,[5] and Andrew Grant.[6]

Their debut single Are You All Good was released in September 2018 via the label Silk,[7][8] and was described as "late night emotion."[3] It was also released with a self-directed music video in collaboration with cinematographer Tim Nagle.[9][10]

Breathe's second single London[11] was premiered by Complex[12] and The Line of Best Fit has compared the music to "the beauty of a peaceful night."[11]

Their third single, Haze, was released in 2019.[4][13] The music video for Haze was directed by Dave May of Tall Story Films.[13]

Breathe's music was described as "minimal soul" as well as "late night soul"[3] that is "brilliantly minimalistic."[14] Rufus du Sol described the music as a "sultry underworld that pulls you right in", and Ta-ku said the band's music "hit me right in my feelings."[15]

Indie Shuffle has compared the band to Moses Sumney and Michael Kiwanuka,[16] and Hypebeast reviewed Haze as an "atmospheric" song that gives off a "ghostly yet lovesick vibe."[13]
