The first release by The Motet, "Breathe", is an eclectic set of musical styles ranging from the folkloric traditions of West Africa and Cuba to New Orleans funk, freeform improvisation, and even some chicken-pickin' rockabilly. This album features the masterful guitar work of Ross Martin and the soulful vocals of Lara Maykovich. "Breathe", recorded for the most part in live settings, maintains a deep flow to the energy and groove throughout the record. Ii's a perfect example of the phrase "listen and play". And, of course, breathe.
