Breeze

Toronto-based Breeze are back with their highly anticipated album, "Sour Grapes". The album delivers a distinctive 90s-inspired sound that explores the complexity of relationships and builds upon the brit-pop new-wave sound that garnered critical acclaim for their 2021 release, "Only Up," praised by the likes of CBC Music, Stereogum, and NPR.

&#34;Sour Grapes&#34; represents an exciting direction for Breeze, capturing the essence of their evolution as a band. Originally a solo project helmed by renowned producer Josh Korody (known for his work with <a href="spotify:artist:0EPmJUz0lE18y95cYzB840" data-name="Tess Parks">Tess Parks</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6HcTkJKjlZEJgv3fR4CJCS" data-name="DILLY DALLY">DILLY DALLY</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:05C3EDw4Rf0qMhrdjFKncL" data-name="Fucked Up">Fucked Up</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3F44NFkOhpksx7b2JXMo3G" data-name="Weaves">Weaves</a>), Breeze has since transformed into a five piece following their debut performance on KEXP LIVE AT HOME SESSION. The album was recorded and meticulously crafted by Korody at his Candle Recording studio, with additional recording at Hotel 2 Tango alongside Shae Brossard, and mastering by Mark Gardiner (of <a href="spotify:artist:0WPY9nnBy01s5QOt4o4oQX" data-name="Ride">Ride</a>).

Breeze &#34;Sour Grapes&#34; is nostalgic, bittersweet, and an essential end-of-year offering.
