Founded in 2011, the Breton Sound began as a collaboration of longtime friends Jonathan Pretus (ex-Cowboy Mouth)and Stephen Turner.
The project was designed to take the band to various historical studios around the South in an effort to capture the vibe and history of the rooms.
The Breton Sound EP, released in July 2018, was recorded in New Orleans at 1920s church-turned-recording facility, Esplanade Studios (Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, Mary J. Blige, The Roots) by the well-known and highly regarded producer and mixer, Jeff Glixman (Black Sabbath, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Kansas).
Working with the Baton Rouge-based company seemed a natural fit (Pretus and Turner met while students at Louisiana State University).
PreSonus was looking to put their Studio One platform in direct competition with the likes of industry-standard Pro Tools, and The Breton Sound was looking to make a record that put them on the same playing field as the rock acts that populate today's radio dials and streaming playlists.
