about

The dissonance between Angela Mullenhour and a will-o-wisp guitar melody propels Breathe Like You're Dancing before it builds into a Dead Meadow-ish climax.
New City - Dave Chamberlain

Sybris's "Breathe Like You're Dancing" effectively combines shoegazer guitars with punk drums and a vocalist who has the voice Courtney Love has been trying to emulate for a decade - - it's rough, melodic and vulnerable.
Splendid - Philip Stone

As songwriters... Sybris are their own beast, dishing out one expansive two-headed monster after another, "Breathe Like You're Dancing" opens with crisp Sunday drive guitars, all clean, pressed and smiling, only to mutate into a lumbering coliseum-sized ball-buster.
Splendid - Phillip Buchan

Breathe Like You're Dancing sticks around long enough to get stuck in your head before it explodes into cacophany. The echo isn't there to obscure any compositional deficiencies, just to facilitate the spacey vibe.
Spin.com - Lane Brown

The song was featured in the Hillary Duff film "Greta".

The noise collage at the end of the track is a collection of found sounds from Chicago.

lyrics

grow up, girl grow up, girl, you are not who i thought that you were. grow up, girl, change, change. oh my god! you are alive! and you're breathing and you know you are. you know we are young hearts, honey, and we are beating and that we are young bloods and we are bleeding. and the world is under your skin and that world you're living in, but you're breathing, and you know you are. we are.
