When it comes to guitar effects, there is one thing that all musicians can agree upon the awesomeness of. While people will argue that fuzz is ‘creamier’ than distortion, or that chorus is ‘richer’ than vibrato and other dorky comparisons that take place on sites like this one, every muso of every style and every level of experience will agree that a good warm delay pedal is man’s best friend.
Breve’s lounge-psych odyssey She Gets Around gets the video treatment – be sure to catch them at The Tote this Saturday!
This best friend is what greets us on Breve‘s track She Gets Around, a percussive muted scratch atmospherically setting the tempo for our odyssey into the uncharted depths that exist between post-impala lounge psychedelia and third wave post rock. The sonic adventure that is She Gets Around details less of where she gets around to, but how she gets around. After all, it’s all about the journey, isn’t it?
Breve have now put this moving song into moving picture, and we’re stoked to be the first ones to bring it to you on this rainy afternoon (here in Sydney at least). Depicting the band’s van-bound journey up the East Coast from the centre of Sydney to the coastal cliffs to the pastoral hills, the vid for She Gets Around doesn’t quite make you want to go on a road trip, but rather evokes the idea of escape – of running away from it all into a field of delay and wandering basslines.
Also featuring awesome live footage from Wollongong’s RAD bar, The Captain Cook here in Syd and the New Globe in Brizzy as well as many others, the video jumps along with the song through moments of lucidity and neurally fucked up. I can only guess that the reason Sydney features so much in the video is that the band got lost trying to find their way to the Surry Hills/Paddington area, because I know I certainly have.
Breve are also sharing the news that they’ll be taking a break/coming down from touring for a little while to record some new songs for an upcoming record. With this year’s EP Broke Generation not featuring a song under six minutes, I can imagine recording and mastering to be a lengthy process, but be sure that we’ll keep you all in the loop.
This weekend, you can catch their last show for the time being at The Tote upstairs, alongside Magenta Voyeur and The Backs (treet Boys?).
