The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer, signaling a perfect time for the release of Breathe In, Breathe Out from Knoxville, Tennessee's GENE PRIEST - an atmospheric, five-song collection of dark indie-rock and minor-key country music.

Recorded in both Knoxville and Brooklyn, NY under the eye of producer and Lapdance Academy founder, BRIAN GROSZ, Breathe In, Breathe Out manages to capture both the twang of the American South and the subterranean gloom of urban decay. PRIEST established himself as a gifted songwriter with 2010's acclaimed Living To Die EP and his ability to craft a lyric that is simultaneously morose and unforgettably catchy is on full display with his latest batch of songs. Tapping the vein of ELLIOT SMITH, one needn't look any further than a song like PRIEST'S "Killing Myself As Fast As I Can" to know that depression and self-destruction can lead to a rousing sing-a-long.
