The Bergamot – Breakdown
“-The Bergamot- made their new composition as original as possible and, most important, memorable, which allowed her not to get lost against the backdrop of other indie pop projects. Here there is a soul and its particles are embedded in every sound, in every word and in every second of this track.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“-The Bergamot- сделали свою новую композицию максимально оригинальной и, что самое важное, запоминающейся, что позволило ей не теряться на фоне других indie pop проектов. Здесь присутствует душа и её частички вложены в каждый звук, в каждое слово и в каждую секунду этого трека.”

The Bergamot’s new single “Breakdown” (out Summer/Fall 2022 via AWAL). Singer-songwriter and producers Nathaniel Paul Hoff and Jillian Speece from The Emmy award winning band ‘The Bergamot’ are set to release their new single on June 17th. Their last single ”L.A.” reached #1 on the SubmitHub All-Time charts.
“Breakdown” is a sonic escape exploring the existential doom we are being barraged with on a daily basis. It is vital to remember that we inhabit this world for only a century at best, when the stars have existed for millions of years. Over that span of time the world has been plunged into darkness before. This is not the first generation to be inconvenienced with change and instability. We must seek inspiration and hope from the stars. Remembering that growth is painful but vital - and connects us with generations from the past. Whether it be a global pandemic, world war, continued mental health crisis, increased suicide rates, or global warming - we are amidst a challenging time. "Breakdown" takes the listener from a desperate place of inward focus - to the expanse of the universe around us. The stars around us have seen it all - every moment of history. By remembering this, we can be re-inspired to live to the fullest.
With over half a million streams on DSP’s, The Bergamot returns with an anthemic track. “State of the Unity” The Bergamot’s feature length documentary just premiered at the Sedona International Film Festival to instant critical acclaim winning the “Marion Herrman Excellence in Filmmaking Award”. The film went on to win “Best Documentary” from the Paris Independent Film Festival, and “Best Directors for a Feature Documentary” from DocuFest, The Bergamot returns to their home base with this new track.
The band is set to be on tour all year and appear at the Richmond International Film Festival this month. “Breakdown” will be a new classic in the band's growing catalog.
