Braids w/ Mark Matt Webber

Braids released Native Speaker in 2011.  They have reinvented themselves in their second full length. The group sought to explore a more introspective and electronic approach to songwriting. Sonically the songs are delicate and tight, lyrically they are honest and vulnerable, demonstrating the group’s emotional growth.

Pitchfork has Braids new album Flourish // Perish streaming over on ADVANCE
