Angels & Airwaves Week: Breathe


11/05/07

(antiMusic) It seems like only yesterday that Angels & Airwaves released their debut album but the band isn't messing around and a little over a year after that CD dropped they are already back with their sophomore effort, 'I-Empire,' which hits stores this week. To celebrate the release we asked Atom Willard to pick his favorite five tracks from the new CD and tell us a little bit about each one. Here is Atom with today's song "Breathe"

This is a very different song for all of us, David plays the very minimal guitar part in the bridge and at the end, otherwise he's on keyboards. There's no bass in the song at all, so Matt plays keys the whole time. Even I have some challenges, switching from brushes on my side snare in the verse to sticks in the chorus and then back again. Tom sang this one really well, showing a whole different side of what he can do. It was exciting to hear the verses grow and then on the last day we had for this song he sang the outro and it come together so good, it gets me every time!

Just in case you didn't know Angels & Airwaves is former blink-182 & Box Car Racer guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, Offspring drummer Atom Willard, David Kennedy from Box Car Racer and former 30 Seconds to Mars bassist Matt Wachter. Tom produced the new album. Preview some tracks from the CD, learn more about the band and CD and more - more on this story
