In ‘Peach Wedding’, inventive Canadian hipsters Braids have made a record which transports you to an immediately reflective state; one which you can return to on every listen only to discover deeper layers and more restrained rhythms than before.
Braids’ shimmering harmonies and waves of lush synths are captured perfectly on this single, however the development from their previous album Native Speaker was not as significant as I’d have hoped. This said, their spectacular live shows and Animal Collective-style weirdness are utterly captivating.
Braids play at The Union with Wild Beasts on November 21st.
