Going Off The Grid
The new single from LG BretonPart head-bopping power-pop, part folky introspection, and sung in half-sing, half-talk, “Going Off The Grid” sonically reflects the unconventionality of its subject matter. After all, everyone craves solitude every once in a while, but not everyone permanently leaves the city for a shack in the woods.
You used to thrive in the city
Better not be a servant of greed and inequity
You’ve decided, God forbid,
To be going off the grid
Feeding on greens and beans you’ve grown yourself
Each man and woman responsible for themselves
You’ve decided, God forbid,
To be going off the grid
Breton, though, seems to know a few folks who have opted for this sort of life. “The song lyrics address the seemingly growing trend of people ‘quitting’ modern city life,” he explains. “They’re abandoning it in favor of a back-to-the-basics existence by relocating to a remote area, away from any commodities and, often, from other people…”
As usual, and apart from his signature vocals, Breton played all the instruments on “Going Off The Grid, save for the drum kit, which was handled by up-and-coming drummer Mathis Beauséjour. The song was written, recorded, and produced by Breton at G&B Productions, the Montreal studio he shares with award-winning sound engineer Stéphane Grimm. Mastering duties were, once again, provided by Richard Addison (Trillium Sound).

DESTINY – The new single from LG Breton
Destiny is LG Breton's first release as a solo artist in 4 years. The song was written and produced by Breton himself at G&B Productions' studio in Montreal, Canada.
As it's usually the case with Breton's solo project, and in addition to his vocal parts, LG performs all the instruments on this recording, safe for the drums which are, once again, delivered with style by longtime collaborator, Alain Quirion (aka « Don Quirione »).
The result is an irresistible Pop Funk (almost Disco) track with uplifting lyrics that reflect on how, in our lives, better times almost always follow hardship and how, at times, we'd really like to possess “the key that will unlock the secrets of our destiny”!
Studio colleague and award-winning sound engineer Stéphane Grimm acted as co-mixer with Breton and Richard Addison (Trillium Sounds) brilliantly handled mastering duties.
Destiny is out now and available on all music streaming platforms! Furthermore, it is the first in a string of highly exciting new singles from LG Breton to be periodically released all through 2023… and beyond!
