Breathe Me In is the first single to emerge from the venture and features vocalist Georgia Gordon, who was introduced to Croan by erstwhile record shop supremo and Simple Minds manager Bruce Findlay at one of our Born To Be Wide evenings. With its ambient vibe and light dub beat, it is easy to imagine hearing the song coming through the speakers of a minimalist bar in a designer hotel. So it should come as no surprise that it has already been snapped up for the latest in the long-running Goa Beats compilation series, distributed by leading German dance label Kontor Records.

Croan and Gordon continue to collaborate and the results are due to appear on Leith Bass Team’s debut album, scheduled for release in the spring. Listen at www.soundcloud.com/leith-bass-team.
