Video: Braids - Lemonade

Encore une fois, vous serez subjugués par la voix hypnotique de la chanteuse-guitariste de Braids, Raphaelle Standell-Preston et la chanson Amends... Braids dont Montréal est la ville d’adoption nous présente du nouveau matériel depuis l’album Native Speaker paru il y a deux ans sous les éloges et les critiques de la blogosphère à l’international. Un rappel, la très belle Limonade. Quatuor devenu un trio, Braids signe un musique à l’électro spatiale minimaliste avec ce premier titre Amends, tiré du EP intitulé In Kind // Amends, vinyle de quatre chansons qui sera disponible le 11 [...]

Bombay Bicycle Club ,  1,2,3 ,  Guards  @  Music Hall of Williamsburg  ( Tickets ) Great Lake Swimmers [...]

As is usual, the Saturday line-up at Oxegen is just that bit stronger than the opening day. Here's our guide to Day 2, though there's a temptation to check out the WTF-ness of Amanda Brunker on the Vodafone Stage we're going to start with a fresher sound. Disclaimer part 2: if you do see Amanda Brunker, you might want to guard your eyes as much as your ears. Little Green Cars (Heineken Green Spheres) 14:00 - We've been keeping an eye on this band over the last few years [...]

At first, I thought my whole blog would represent the artists I would label as iN, but as it turns out, there are simply too many to cover. Thus, I would like to begin an official, ongoing list which will be updated every month or two with artists who I believe to be incredibly talented and different, someone who represents themselves well through an online presence, and generally, just all around cool people. For some reason (because they are good at what they do) I have kept coming back to these artists time and time again so I needed to [...]

Es miércoles y eso significa que nos toca presentarles una nueva banda aquí en Under . Esta semana vamos a viajar hasta Montreal para conocer a un cuarteto de chicos que ha llamado la atención de todos los medios musicales gracias a su rock-pop experimental de vocales dulces y ritmos magnéticos que atrapan desde el primer acorde. BRAIDS es el nombre de este grupo compuesto por Raphaelle Standell-Preston, Katie Lee, Austin Tufts y Taylor Smith . La historia de la agrupación comienza allá por el año 2006, cuando un [...]

This is the only picture I took from last night. I did this while using the bathroom, mostly to remind me who the opening bands were. Isn't it arty? Ran out of work to catch this show. The only thing I missed by getting there on time was a chance to drink. The opening band, Adventure , was about as boring as it comes. They create the kind of electronic music that makes me understand why people don't like machine created music. I heard 2 songs than [...]

  Braids is a Montreal, Quebec-based quartet consisting of Raphaelle Standell-Preston , Katie Lee , Austin Tufts and Taylor Smith . The band members met at a young age and began collaborating in high school, eventually forming Braids in 2006. Their debut album Native Speaker was released in early 2011 in Canada and the United States to critical acclaim. Alternately ambient and sparse, Braids is not afraid to exploit technology, but the sound is dreamy and feminine. All [...]

A few days late, for which we apologise, but here is our look at this week's best releases, including Ladytron and Braids. Braids Lemonade/Plath Heart Braids are a four-piece originally from Calgary, Alberta Canada, who is now firmly planted in Montreal (Canada’s ‘cultural capital’ for anyone interested). I mention this because in recent years the Canadian alternative music scene has delivered its alumni onto an unsuspecting world that include the mighty Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene and Tokyo Police Club [...]

It's been an outstanding start for music in 2011 and here are my favorite tracks so far. Only one track per band to keep things fair. Enjoy. 10.) Starfucker - Millions (Reptilians) 09.) Airlines - Burial Grounds (Visions EP) 08.) Braids - Lemonade (Native Speaker) [...]
