Fans of the riot grrrl movement will already be familiar with Selene Vigil. As singer for Seattle's 7 Year Bitch, she seethed, spat and shouted the band's angry, powerful (and occasionally lusty) lyrics over the course of 3 seminal albums. After the band's demise and several years' hiatus, Vigil makes a strong return with this MUSICBLITZ Exclusive from her new project, Cistine. Producer Matt Sherrod (best known for his work with Macy Grey) handles instrumentation on this track -- and what he's concocted is as far from 7 Year Bitch's punk-inspired blasts as you can get. Instead, "Breathe Heavy" is dark, eerie, and even a little bit artsy. Sherrod has replaced the Bitch's hot 'n fast guitar riffs with ice-cold piano notes; squelching keyboards and rattling percussion make the song that much more ominous. Vigil, meanwhile, has reigned in her voice -- the usual growl and snap has been replaced by a quiet purr. But even though her bark is gone, the music still has plenty of lyrical bite: "Just yesterday I realized / Telling you how I feel is a waste of time / On a closed mind." The bitch is back -- proceed with caution.
