The enticing debut album of Swiss band Breakfast Mood, At The Seahouse, gets a most welcome follow-up with the release of their new digitally released showcase album, titled Revelations. This latest offering features four vocal tracks, each paired with its own dub version, further expanding the band’s distinctive sonic palette.
Complementing the digital release is a limited edition 12″ vinyl, spotlighting two handpicked tracks and their dub counterparts, each masterfully mixed by Breakfast Mood’s frontman and sound engineer, Joël Bollier. Leading Side A is Will He Show His Face, a roots reggae track that instantly draws listeners in with its hypnotic rockers-style riddim and soaring horn arrangements. Its dub version pulses with a classic vibe, weaving fragments of the vocal in and out of the mix, a testament to the band’s deep-rooted influences and Bollier’s deft touch behind the console. Altogether, it’s a stunning A-side that begs to be played again and again.
On the flipside, the mood shifts with the track Longing For You, revealing a different facet of Breakfast Mood’s artistry. It’s a clear indication that the band isn’t confined to strictly roots reggae. They’re equally adept at crafting songs that evoke heartfelt emotion and romantic nuance. Paired with its richly echo-laden dub version, this blues-infused track makes a lasting impact, thanks in no small part to the exceptional musicianship on display.
