The Despair Collective’s latest single, “Breathe Again”, released on August 2, 2024, is an electrifying rock anthem that perfectly balances power and emotion. The track, recorded at Watchmen Studios and produced by Doug White, known for his work with Gym Class Heroes, has a massive “wall of sound” that draws you in from the first note. It combines the best of classic rock influences with a modern, synth-driven twist, creating a sonic experience that’s both captivating and invigorating.
From the start, “Breathe Again” pulls you into its world with thick, rich instrumentation. The production is a key part of the song’s impact, with every layer feeling purposeful and perfectly placed. Dana Fogl’’s bass guitar and synths set a dark, atmospheric tone that builds as the track progresses, while Mike Longo’s guitar adds a sharp, melodic edge. The rhythm section drives the song forward, giving it a powerful, almost cinematic quality that wraps around the listener. Lyrically, “Breathe Again” is all about self-discovery and resilience. It speaks to anyone who’s struggled through a difficult relationship and found the strength to move on. The song’s message is clear, even in the toughest times, there is a way forward. The lyrics offer hope and remind us that we can always breathe again, no matter how heavy the weight we carry.
What sets this track apart is its ability to blend rock’s traditional roots with a modern sound. Influenced by legendary bands like Queen and Pink Floyd, and combining those with the industrial edge of acts like Rammstein, The Despair Collective delivers something both familiar and fresh. The band’s vision for a “big, full production” is realized here, as “Breathe Again” becomes not just a song, but an experience. This track is more than just music; it’s an emotional journey. It’s bold, it’s powerful, and it invites you to rediscover your strength. If you’re looking for a song that will both rock you and speak to your soul, “Breathe Again” is exactly what you need.
