Godfathers of Space Rock Melancholia, Breathless follow their
acclaimed melancholy masterpiece 'Green To Blue' with a
Special Limited Edition EP for Record Store Day, featuring
Remixes by Bad Seed / Grinderman drummer Jim Sclavunos
and Pop Divas / DJs The Readers Wifes
Inspired by Kramer's (Butthole Surfers / Galaxie 500) mixes
on 'Green To Blue', Breathless asked Jim Sclavunos and
Readers Wife Jeremy Kimberley to remix two tracks from the album
in their own very individual styles for this Special Record Store Day
release, resulting in two uniquely diverse pop songs, adding a
whole new dimension to Breathless' shoegaze dream pop.
Best known as drummer and percussionist with Nick Cave
and The Bad Seeds and Grinderman Jim Sclavunos,
was a leading light in New York's No Wave movement, was a
member of Sonic Youth, and has played with The Cramps,
Alex Chilton and Lydia Lunch amongst others.
He has recently produced the Jim Jones Revue's album
'It's Gotta Be About Me', as well as fronting his own band
The Vanity Set.
DJs at London's legendary Art / Cabaret nightclub Duckie.
Readers Wifes moved from behind the decks to centre stage
as fully fledged disco divas to release a slew of Moroder-esque
'Electro Aggro' singles and debut album produced by former
Siouxsie And The Banshees bassist Steve Severin.
Bookend by a new edit and the original album version of
'Please Be Happy', a bittersweet lament, of love and loss.
Dominic Appleton's voice of an angel floating on a cloud of
twanging surf bass and shimmering guitars,
exquisitely sad and darkly brooding.
