 “Truthfulness and honesty [are] inherent throughout this fantastic record.” - Kerrang! (★★★★)
 Tiny Moving Parts has always been a vehicle for catharsis, and that’s nothing new on ‘breathe’. The fifth full-length by the Benson, Minnesota, trio sees vocalist / guitarist Dylan Mattheisen and his cousins, brothers Matt (bass) and Billy (drums) Chevalier, tackle issues such as mental health, anxiety and mortality while also expanding their sound.
 Recorded with longtime collaborator Greg Lindholm and John Fields (Jimmy Eat World, All Time Low), ‘breathe’ is a valuable reminder that
we're all in this together, channelled through the band's trademark blend of math-rock, pop punk and emo, albeit with a few new musical tricks (including some electronic flourishes and a banjo).
 More than just a collection of songs, ‘breathe’ serves as an important emotional crutch. It’s the friend we all need at our darkest times. It’s the
sound of a band coming to terms with their own mortality, their own anxieties, their own self-doubts. And it’s a reminder that, as long as there are songs sung back as if our lives depend on them, we are never alone.
 “‘Breathe’ is Tiny Moving Parts’ best work to date, and if math rock is your thing, it would be a crime to not check it out.” - Exclaim! (9/10)
 For fans of Tigers Jaw, Foxing, Hotelier.
