Other Peoples Problems - Breton

I was fortunate enough for the lads in Breton to like my photos enough to ask me to use one for their album. With out even flinching they chose from 3 images and this is the final product. The album is off the hook and they are a good bunch of fellows to boot. My self and Roman, who leads the band, are planning on an magical day out to a fun park to consume inspiration and take pictures. Looking forward to bringing it all back.

Arizona

Motel 6 and a full bottle of fine bourbon giving us a well deserved break on this mini adventure in to AZ's wonderful countryside and strange small towns. It is day 1 and I have seen some pretty amazing stuff. Already thinking of coming back to film the strange towns and their inhabitants off the beaten track on route to Phoenix. The bland beauty I find fascinating seems to be the running theme and finding that seems to be easy. Plentiful sparse concrete suburbs surrounded by dust and horizon. Just hold off on the rain please.

I'm 2 hours from Glasgow...

And L.A. seems to be at the fore front of my mind. Maybe because of the Hollywood element to my trip Tomorrow, being by the sea and watching someone try commit homicide are two things on the agenda. Filming started a while ago but my time is just beginning.

BEER - Charles Bukowski

I don't know how many bottles of beer
I have consumed while waiting for things
to get better
I don't know how much wine and whiskey
and beer
mostly beer
I have consumed after
splits with women-
waiting for the phone to ring
waiting for the sound of footsteps,
and the phone to ring
waiting for the sounds of footsteps,
and the phone never rings
until much later
and the footsteps never arrive
until much later
when my stomach is coming up
out of my mouth
they arrive as fresh as spring flowers:
"what the hell have you done to yourself?
it will be 3 days before you can fuck me!"

the female is durable
she lives seven and one half years longer
than the male, and she drinks very little beer
because she knows its bad for the figure.

while we are going mad
they are out
dancing and laughing
with horny cowboys.

well, there's beer
sacks and sacks of empty beer bottles
and when you pick one up
the bottle fall through the wet bottom
of the paper sack
rolling
clanking
spilling gray wet ash
and stale beer,
or the sacks fall over at 4 a.m.
in the morning
making the only sound in your life.

beer
rivers and seas of beer
the radio singing love songs
as the phone remains silent
and the walls stand
straight up and down
and beer is all there is.

Charles Bukowski "The man with the beautiful eyes"

Breton - Edward The Confessor

‘Edward The Confessor’

A short film by BretonLABS & Niall O’Brien

Visual experimentalists Breton have released a powerful and emotive short film for their forthcoming debut single ‘Edward TheConfessor’, due for release on Fat Cat Records on 21^st November 2011.

The track's lyrics are based on a field recording of a conversation taking place between two unknown men, the subject matter of which is immigration and the frustration of surviving in a foreign country.

It’s a similar frustration that’s echoed in the young faces of the disaffected youths featured in photographer and film-maker Niall O'Brien's recent 'Anger' exhibition - 

four kids on a council estate in London, shot at 1000 frames per second and capturing anger in its most undiluted form.

These affecting images, interspersed throughout the video, sit somewhere between photography and moving image, contrasting with Breton's frenetic and indefinable music, yet somehow expressing the same helpless anger of the lyrics.

The result is an exciting and visually captivating piece of work – the beauty, clarity and preciseness of Niall’s photography highlighted by the deliberate hazy lo-fi vibe of Breton’s live performance.

Niall will be exhibiting the ‘Anger’ installation in London next spring.

Breton’s debut album ‘Other People’s Problems’ will be released in March 2012.

Collaboration With The Lab

Nothing make me happier to be involved with a strong source of creativity like Breton Labs. After seeing them preform last night I am certain they're going to make a massive dent in the music scene. Recently signed to Fat Cat Records and Warp Publishing deal to boot their backing proves the point. This collaboration is getting exciting.

New Man - Happy Man - Dead Man...

Sometimes it takes a masterpiece to show you the way back into to the game...
