Brad Breeck contributes drums and a few other instruments to the Mae Shi (their recent album HLLLYH received a Recommended nod), though he doesn't currently play live with the band. Instead, the L.A.-based Breeck works as a composer for movies, television and video games; one of his current projects is writing music for a low-budget indie film called One Too Many Mornings, directed by Michael Mohan and currently in pre-production. Though the movie hasn't been shot, Breeck's theme song is already complete, and it sounds solidly in the boisterous power-pop vein of "Run to Your Grave", HLLLYH's first single, if a bit more stripped down. It also reminds me of Paul Westerberg's contributions to the Singles soundtrack a million years ago, the way it strings together a good hook and a few "la-la-las" and gets out, a little nugget of tunefullness ready to be used in an interlude. The video for the track was shot to test the production's camera equipment, and its full story can be found here.
