Breathe is an album by Keller Williams with the String Cheese Incident (collectively known as the Keller Williams Incident), released in 1999.[3][4]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the accompaniment of the String Cheese Incident provides a wondrous canvas that elevates the richness of [Keller's] guitar work and frees him from the confines of looping."[2] The Washington Post called the album "strange and delightfully odd," writing that "Williams weaves a lot of quirky textures and riffs into his original compositions, borrowing freely from funk, reggae, folk, pop and jazz to create a series of colorful backdrops for his curious musings ('Best Feelings'), entertaining rants ('Stupid Questions') and offbeat tales ('Vacate')."[5]
