Atlanta Band’s Revision of ‘Breathers’ Brings Warm ’80s Synth-Pop Vibe – WABE

In City Lights’ “Speaking of Music” series, local musicians share their work and stories in their own voices. In today’s segment, we feature Atlanta pop group Breathers.

The band consists of T. Lee Gunselman and Jake Thompson on vocals and keyboards, with Mike Netland on drums and sequencing. Their sound is reminiscent of the ’80s synth-pop wave, with drum machine-driven beats layered over classic digital synthesizers.

The band recently released a music video for their single, “Some Kind of Fool,” and according to Gunselman, the band is “currently working on a full-length album at Chase Park in Athens… We also have a show coming up on July 13th at 529 in East Atlanta Village with Suede Cassidy and Taylor Alexander.”
