Could you explain it?
What did you get up to personally in that year long breather between the last two albums?
that year is noun but long breather is noun, too? I don't understand this structure. And there were 1 year between the last two albums? and that year feels long breather here? Am i right?

I think a hyphen between "year" and "long" would help. The compound modifier "year-long" tells us how long the "breather" (= pause for rest) was.

Yes, pretty much. It is actually listed as an adjective in a number of dictionaries, e.g.:
