Their breakthrough didn’t come with their debut—it arrived after the release of their second album. Backed by the Estonian label RR Gems, known for its wide distribution, \u003cem data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"457\"\u003eBrink of Extinction\u003c\/em\u003e reached a global audience and earned the group an entirely new fanbase. As a result, their first album—initially self-released on their own imprint—quickly sold out as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"147\" data-end=\"631\"\u003eTheir fourth album, \u003cem data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"670\"\u003eSpace to Breathe\u003c\/em\u003e, marks their first release on Jazzaggression (with another one already in the pipeline after a productive recording weekend at Studio Pelto). Interestingly, this record consists of material written between their first and second albums—almost a “1.5,” you could say. \u003cem data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"956\"\u003eSpace to Breathe\u003c\/em\u003e carries the same breezy, free-flowing energy that defined their earlier work, offering fans more of the distinctive sound they’ve come to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"70\" data-end=\"232\"\u003eOur journey begins with the track \u003cstrong data-start=\"104\" data-end=\"119\"\u003e“Zeppelin,”\u003c\/strong\u003e which opens the album with smooth, searching bass lines that linger and build anticipation for what’s to come. Next up is \u003cstrong data-start=\"245\" data-end=\"256\"\u003e“Turku”\u003c\/strong\u003e — named after the Finnish city — delivering a memorable melody laid over a tough, breakbeat groove. We stay floating among the clouds with the title track \u003cstrong data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"438\"\u003e“Space To Breathe,”\u003c\/strong\u003e a mellow, introspective piece that perfectly captures the spirit of the album. By now, it’s time to flip the record — and you’re rewarded with the first single and clear highlight, \u003cstrong data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"657\"\u003e“Then The Neighbors Complain,”\u003c\/strong\u003e followed by \u003cstrong data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"684\"\u003e“Thurson.” \u003c\/strong\u003eThe journey concludes with \u003cstrong data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"732\"\u003e“Ote Irtoaa,”\u003c\/strong\u003e bringing the six-track album to a close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jazz Aggression","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51089569743079,"sku":"JALP755","price":40.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0094\/8718\/8015\/files\/Soft-Power-Space-To-Breathe-New-Vinyl.jpg?v=1759759100","url":"https:\/\/www.sonicboommusic.com\/products\/soft-power-space-to-breathe-new-vinyl","provider":"Sonic Boom Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
