ROOTS RITUALS: BREAKFAST MOOD TAP NEW HEIGHTS ON ‘REVELATION’
Swiss band Breakfast Mood tap into deep roots and celestial heights with Revelation, a radiant nine-track release on Elijah Salomon’s One Camp Records. Infused with heart and harmony, the album pairs four rootsy, lovers-style vocal cuts with their corresponding dub versions, opening a window into the group’s meditative, spiritually aware songwriting.
Their journey with Salomon began in 2022 after winning a remix challenge with a version of his track Sie Isch Wäg. The prize: a live session at One Camp Studio, where Revelation was recorded in one seamless take. Drums, bass, guitar, horns and keys were captured with warmth and precision, giving the record a tactile, organic feel.
BREAKFAST MOOD FIND FOCUS IN SIMPLICITY, DELIVERING REVERENCE WITH RHYTHM
Joël Bollier mixed and mastered the album, also shaping its dusky dub reflections. His steady hand brings cohesion across the vocal and instrumental mixes, pushing the low end forward while leaving space for reverb-soaked atmospheres to bloom.
Released on vinyl via the anticipatory 12-inch Will He Show His Face, Revelation stands as a confident, richly arranged statement. It features an ensemble of top Swiss talent, including Max Küste, Danilo Mancuso, Billy Meyer, Julian Del Grande, and others. Each player adds texture and tone, creating a project that resonates with both devotion and groove.
Breakfast Mood find focus in simplicity, delivering reverence with rhythm.
