I think I forgot how to breathe for a second while hearing this record, during "Groove For Sub Clavian Vein", because that ending is too tense for words. Tension is the main theme of I Forgot To Breathe, Lean Left's first studio effort, and it's clear this trio know how to make a sweat-inducing, air-thickening atmosphere. Everything here is related to tension in a masterful way; with genre tags like free jazz and jazz-rock you'd expect something somewhat wild, but here restraint and carefulness reign supreme. There are very few explosive moments here, and these usually come at the beginning of tracks rather than the end, with songs that wind down instead of build up. Any time they seem to be building towards something massive, the group quells it with an almost sensual restraint and tenderness that is just as emotional and just as powerful. They'd almost guaranteeably make fantastic lovers, and who doesn't want some fantastic lovers in their life?
