If we’re talking a lot about guitarist Rafiq Bhatia‘s upcoming new album, Breaking English, a whole lot, it’s largely because we’re really excited about it. Besides, the album drops tomorrow on Anti- and folks need to know. To help in that process, Bhatia just dropped a live video session version of the title track(in letterbox, oddly). Watch it after the jump and cop Breaking English when it releases (also keep in mind drummer compatriot Ian Chang also has a new EP dropping next Friday that you may want to consider, too).
