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

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the accompaniment of the String Cheese Incident provides a wondrous canvas that elevates the richness of guitar work and frees him from the confines of looping." 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')."
