BREEZE started as a few sketches in the notebook of songwriter, producer, and engineer Josh Korody (BELIEFS / NAILBITER). Their dream-pop sound took form soon after with collaborators and friends Kyle Connolly (THE SEAMS, WISH) and Shawn Dell joining the band. After a few weeks of rehearsals, the three went into Korody’s Candle Recording Studio in Toronto’s west-end with producer Leon Taheny (Owen Pallet / Austra / Death From Above) to record a full length record in 2013. Breeze assembled a line up that included bassist Dustin Hawthorne (Hot Hot Heat / Operators), before Josh and Kyle focused on their other projects.

Hand Drawn Dracula is pleased to start 2018 with the release of Breeze’s debut album entitled “Record” on December 29th 2017.

“dreamweaver Josh Korody opens the perceptual door, and leads us on a stroll through the poppy field. White sneakers, splattered with the romantic muck of teenage nostalgia, disembodied now, tread the bent stems. And as we gaze at them, they become conductors, gorging on static, free floating sole-up atop the interference. Faces smear in your peripherals as your eyelids flicker like bat wings. No one’s smiling, but everyone feels fine.” – WEIRD CANADA

“Low-key, Cure-influenced Dream Pop from members of Dusted, Gold & Youth and Hot Hot Heat” – SILENT SHOUT

“dreamy melodies ~ hazy affairs ~ back porch beers ~ blissed out drives ~ hearts pumping” – HEROHILL

“dreamy – almost psychedelic instrumentation ~ music that makes for backseat make-outs” – PLAID MAG

“hazy, shimmering guitars that sparkle in the sunshine, warm enough to take the chilly bite out of a late summer night” – QUICK BEFORE IT MELTS
