‘Native Speaker’ the debut long player from justifiably tipped Canadian quartet BRAIDS started as a musical experiment, now several years on, the results of that experiment are being gloriously realised. ‘Native Speaker’ will be released in the UK April 18th on Kanine Records. (Chairlift, Grizzly Bear, Surfer Blood)
BRAIDS have spent the last few months wowing audiences across America with their live show, including tastemakers at this year’s SXSW. UK audiences are in for an equally memorable experience when Braids tour the UK for the first time this May.
