You may remember Breton from months back when Lauren tootled along to the Breton show in Leeds to interview Roman - yeah, remember that? Well finally the chap and band have been signed to Fat Cat - which is basically good because they release The Twilight Sad, Frightened Rabbit, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Maps & Atlases, Mazes and all manner of bands that we are fans of.

Today it was announced that he has released a free EP - The Blanket Rule EP- which is out, well now. Yes, a mixing of tenses but that’s basically what happened, we received an email telling us we’re late in the know and it’s ready and waiting so we better hop to it and get involved.

For lack of time to describe Breton in creatively balanced language, we’d say if you like indie (you’re likely a Foals fan - it’s mainly his voice, in that yeah he is young guy from the south of England) but actually find tou have a wide collection of more dancey electronic related records - you know, those multiple Groove Armada and Tricky records you used to love, the Warp and Fat City Compilations you stole from a house party - then this is right up your street.

So why release this for free? Well it seems these are the tracks they’ve got which didn’t make the album, Other People’s Problems which is out (yes, on FatCat) March 26th 2012. It’s a taster of what they’re playing with, probably a combo of great tracks that didn’t quite fit the albums aesthetic whilst being ‘totally rad’, and yet they’ve termed the final song on the EP a ‘bonus track’. I’d say ‘go figure’ but maybe use that time better and just download the thing. Like me. From here.

And here is something to watch whilst it is downloading.
