1) The Breath is a British alt-folk band based in Manchester comprising Stuart McCallum (former guitarist of The Cinematic Orchestra), Irish singer Ríoghnach Connolly, and McCallum's fellow Cinematic alumni, pianist John Ellis and drummer Luke Flowers.
Connolly and McCallum are the creative heart of The Breath. Connolly writes the only way she knows how; a stream of poetic consciousness giving rise to honest, personal, heartfelt songs as likely to touch on childhood summers and first love as cultural dislocation, post-colonial injustices and grief. But it’s her deeply soulful, utterly engaging, stop-you-in-your-tracks voice – whether delicate and hushed or powerful and gutsy – coupled with Stuart’s understated brilliance and their exquisitely crafted songs, that give The Breath such emotional depth.
2) The Breath is a Japanese hardcore punk band. The band released albums in 2021 and 2024.
