The Profile

Breathless are a British dream pop/new wave band from London formed in 1983 and led by singer/keyboardist Dominic Appleton. They release much of their work on their Tenor Vossa label and are associated with the 4AD milieu.

London band formed in 1983; releases on Tenor Vossa; Dominic Appleton on vocals/keyboards; connections to 4AD via Appleton’s collaborations with This Mortal Coil. Key albums include The Glass Bead Game (1986), Three Times and Waving (1987), Chasing Promises (1989), Blue Moon (1999), Behind the Light (2003), and Green to Blue (2012).

Four DeBaser reviews chart Breathless from the neo‑psychedelic pull of The Glass Bead Game to the ethereal sweep of Green to Blue. There’s praise for Behind the Light’s lush crescendos and meditative drift, and a poetic salute to Three Times and Waving. A 2005 Vicenza live report documents a chaotic night where the band persevered despite technical woes. Overall tone: respectful, nostalgic, and warmly appreciative.
