The Radiant Believers was released last week to astoundingly rave reviews from industry and radio professionals to fans around the world. Seven singles have been released from this rapturously uplifting album over the last few months with more scheduled.

Breathe Of My Leaves to release single “Perfect Defeat” on October 20th, 2023 from The Radiant Believers album // The Radiant Believers album was released September 1st, 2023

Vancouver, BC, Canada – Breathe Of My Leaves, comprised of Stephano Barberis and Jordan Gant, are releasing “Perfect Defeat” on October 20th, 2023 across all streaming platforms.
“Perfect Defeat” is the second official single to be lifted from the new 13-track album The Radiant Believers, although seven pervious singles have been released over the last year and a half.

The song is a darkly euphoric, retro-futuristic wall of emotional sonic energy about vocalist Jordan Gant’s feelings of inadequacy about his voice. Jordan explains, “It’s a song that I sing about hating my harmonies. Always thinking that my talent somedays is just to layer things to death and make them sound epic to distract from an unsatisfying melody. It is just an insecurity song basically.” Metaphorically, the song sounds like he’s singing about a relationship partner, but it’s the typical imposter syndrome most artists suffer from. Introspection at an artistically electrified level, indeed.

Stephano Barberis describes the song as a heavy juggernaut of a dance track that’s relentless, with a galloping Blade Runner vibe. “I wanted the song to just be big and frantic then to end rather suddenly. It’s dark yet it’s oddly, unnervingly, uplifting. It may be the darkest song on the album, but I’m hoping that the energy of it lifts the listener up as though they’ve been through a massive night-time storm but survived.”

All the singles have included new bonus tracks (B-sides) unavailable elsewhere, but this single will be in the form of an EP of remixes of the track. A veritable pantheon of super-talented artists who are putting their spin on the anthemic track about self-doubt are BlakLight (smooth darkwave), Shelter Weareshelter (euphoric trance),
Train To Spain (Scandinavian synth-pop), Rezfilter Jason Subtractive (insane analogue wizardry) and Darren James (club-land tech house).

“Perfect Defeat” follows up the successful singles “Clarke & Bell,” ”All The Memories Made,” “Us,” “Avalon,” “Sweet Music Man,” “Supernova Heart” and the most recent single “Trepidation!” (which quickly became the most successful single the band have ever released). All of the singles became runaway hits on electronic and pop radio stations across North America, Europe/UK, Australia and the Middle East. All three singles last year were listed in many “Best Of 2022” lists, with “Sweet Music Man” being honoured with Best Song Of 2022 by synth-pop juggernaut Jimm Kjelgaard’s The Sol of Synth-Pop weekly radio show, amongst being listed as the top song of the year by other DJ’s as well as industry titan Kurt Sinclair-Hall of Big Satsuma Radio.

This Friday on #BandcampFriday, we’re adding two new tracks to our “Perfect Defeat” EP exclusively on Bandcamp! (“Exclusively” means that you won’t find them anywhere else in the universe in this current dimension). One is the Extended BlakLight Remix that our good and beautiful friends have conjured up for us with their magic synth wands and the other is the original demo of “Perfect Defeat” which is rather frantic and fun, for those who like to see how ya BOML boiz develop the songs. Treats for your ears, Breathies, because we want to fatten up your eardrums like chubby little happy, giggling naked cherubs rolling around in your cute little ear canals. Then, next week, we have grand news to share that we are so excited about…

A while ago, we asked famous and brilliant remixer Matt Pop to listen to our new album and see if he’d like to remix any of the songs in it. He responded with very kind and complimentary words about the songs and chose “Clarke & Bell” to remix… so here it is!

We were blown away by his remixes of the song and how he breathed new life into it so effortlessly. Matt Pop is a genius and it’s so evident why when you listen to any remix from his illustrious and uplifting collection of work. Not to mention he’s the sweetest guy.

Even though we released this super-successful Erasure tribute single back in June, we’ve decided to bring it back like a phoenix for all you sweet Breathies to enjoy. Consider it an early Christmas gift to all fans, DJ’s and media for being so good to us throughout this year. We’ve released a single every two months for a year and a half, plus an album, and you’ve all been behind every release, lifting us up and supporting us, so THANK YOU!

These incredible Matt Pop’s mixes will be released everywhere on November 17th, but you can hear the exclusive first play of one of them on the legendary Rob Harvey’s Synth City - with Rob Harvey program on Tuesday, November 14th on Phoenix FM!
