Between soft and contemplative piano melodies, breakbeats, and characteristically processed vocals, “Breathewithyou” is a hypermodern elegy combining sparse and disparate elements into something novel and profound. If you prefer a more upbeat, danceable, or #nightcore version, the second half of this single “Breathwithyou – EXE Mix” also has you covered. This release is the second single from Amador Diaz’s forthcoming album Air Dash<\/em>, which will be released later in 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contextually, Diaz’s solo material bears some similarities to independent electronic pop music or hyperpop. They once half-jokingly referred to their music as “Gen Z Linkin Park” in conversation with me. It’s also material that seems to draw on wide-ranging influences such as video games, anime, and internet culture. I suppose it’s also worth noting that Diaz was formerly the bandleader of indie rock band Captain Samurai<\/a>, an act which propelled sweet melodies over gnarled major key guitars and aggressive pumping percussion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their solo work retains some similar elements, including reflective lyrics and melodies with a guitar making an appearance here or there. However, it’s also markedly more electronic in its production, with pounding punk-adjacent live drums being swapped out for present and pumping electronic percussion and breakbeats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amador Diaz’s first album Angel Eternal<\/em> debuted in 2021. You can listen to this existing album and a few other singles in anticipation of the new record, Air Dash<\/em>, later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
