It’s a track that would be praiseworthy even if stripped to the voice and acoustic guitar of Si Clancy, which is the nearly true of the initial 100 seconds of “Breathe In, Breathe Out.” The voice is simultaneously tender and gritty, bringing a charm and an allure to his songs.
Still, “Breathe In, Breathe Out” is much more than the solo skills of the singer/songwriter from Leicester, UK. The track from Si Clancy is longer than the norm, but cycles through additions of warmth, such that listeners may need to regularly “correct” themselves as to their favorite feature of the song. There is a synergy in the vocal chemistry when the female voice (Martha Bean) enters. The instrumental bridge at 4:30 begins with strings and transitions to piano, leading to a dream-state portion that is unconventional in its pronounced use of percussion.
