I Could Be Asleep If It Weren't For You

Before Breakfast with their debut album I Could Be Asleep If It Weren’t For You. The Sheffield duo have always explored feminist issues through the telling of personal stories – fusing their classical knowledge and rich arrangements with raw expression. Their debut album is no exception to this, exploring themes that will resonate with many women in their 30s who are experiencing the shift in perspectives that this decade can bring. Before Breakfast are telling their story on their own terms, and backed by two new live band members as gig venues gradually open up again, the Sheffield band are going for it, with a debut that speaks to the stagnation, malaise, and static of the last “wasted” year. And as the world opens up again, I Could Be Asleep If It Weren't For You is a fitting soundtrack. “We’ve got the momentum” says Gina, “and we just want to do it.”
