bbreathrr is the project of Giovanni Betteo and Stefanie Hodapp, both members of San Francisco band Young Prisms. In 2024, the duo released their EP, Fourteen, bringing the Soundcloud-only release to Fire Talk Records. Today, bbreathrr return with their new single, “candytrip.” “Promise till we die,” Hodapp sings, floating atop layers of filtered reverb, “until you meet me down by the fire.” The instrumentation is bright, glittering, and lands somewhere between trip-pop and fuzzed-out indie rock.

Young Prisms was formed in San Francisco in the late 2000s by Matt Allen and Giovanni Betteo with Stefanie Hodapp and Brooklyn- based drummer Jordan Silbert. The group are inspired by shoegaze with a mixture neo-psych. In late 2009, Mexican Summer put out a self-titled 12” EP by the band, which led to a batch of split 7″ singles in 2010 with Small Black (on Big Love Records from Japan), Weekend (on Transparent from the U.K.), and Mathemagic (on Atelier Ciseaux from France). In 2010 Young Prisms released their debut album Friends for Now via Kanine Records, which was followed by second full-length In Between in 2012. Ten years after releasing their debut LP and after an extended hiatus, Young Prisms returned in 2022 with new material, Drifter, released on Fire Talk.
