German webzine Creative-Eclipses interviews ex-Breach members Tomas Hallbom and Anders Ekström: m/" target=_blank>https://www.creative-eclipse.com/
Breach is one of my all-time favorite bands, so it's very cool to catch up with what the band members are doing now since their 2002 breakup.

Sir Eric Beyond and the Avant-Garde. It's a ballsy move to knight yourself and name your backing band after an art movement. Especially for someone who sings so damn high. I've been waiting for Eric's debut full-length for awhile now and, while I understand that his music is not for everyone, I feel it is my duty to make everyone a convert. It's way more fey and twee than anything I'd normally listen to, but it's also silly, playful and much smarter than first impressions let on. I know I probably sound like hypocrite having criticized The Concretes for their amateurism earlier this week, but that aesthetic can work if done right. The difference is that The Concretes are trying to be better than their abilities permit and Eric Beyond, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care so much about getting things right as much as having the proper feel and feeling. The funny falsetto is a red herring - listen more carefully and you'll get it.
