about

Breakwater II is the creation of Chris Papadopoulos, a 2nd year medical student at New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. He grew up in Mattituck, a small town on the North Fork of Long Island (The band name Breakwater II is actually inspired by the name of a rocky/seaweedy beach where Chris spent his summers). Chris’ influences include The National, The Strokes, Band of Horses, Wolf Parade, and Pink Floyd. The songs on "And it Goes" were written between 2008-2009, during Chris' first year of medical school. Medical school is an extraordinary experience. Discovering the intricacies of the human body is fascinating and rewarding; however, it can leave you feeling exhausted and isolated. These mixed emotions, along with longing for old friends, prior relationships, and the past as a whole are ever present on “And it Goes.” In Chris’ eyes, the past is a simpler time, a sun-soaked, hazy memory he wishes he could revisit, but knows is impossible. A note about the songwriting- lyrics are always secondary to the music, as Chris believes the music can describe the intangibles of life and it is these intangibles, these skeletons of memories that he wishes to capture with this album. With the help of drummer Peter Stromolo, recording engineer/mixer Chloe Raynes, and Warren Russell-Smith’s superb Mastering, Breakwater II proudly presents “And it Goes.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
