2013 release from the Canadian Alt-Rock band. After having released their critically acclaimed debut Native Speaker in 2011, and hot off the heels of their 12" single in Kind // Amends, Braids return with their album Flourish // Perish. After 18 months of touring in support of Native Speaker, along with the departure of a band member, the group secluded themselves in their Montreal studio for a year of writing and recording. While Native Speaker was written in an organic and live environment, the group sought to explore a more introspective and electronic approach to songwriting.

Love it.
Beautiful, eerie, odd. I hear Jane Siberry, Elizabeth Fraser, Sarah Cracknell in Raphaelle Standell-Preston's vocals, yet her sound is also completely and uniquely her own. The thick, floaty sounds of the keyboards is often dense and rich, and I love how the susurrus of the snare drum adds unexpected warmth. One of my favorite things is that the whole album flows from the first track to the end in such a way that the overall sound subtly changes from beginning to end; in fact, when I've tried looping it, I find the effect of going from the last song back to the first jarring and unpleasant, because the sound has evolved so much since the beginning. That's not a criticism - I love that each piece so harmoniously flows to the next that I'm unconscious of the greater changes over time, and only hear the difference when I try to loop back from the last track to the first. Play from start to finish on a long drive on the highway at sunset. Enormously satisfying. Love it.

Great Album
Bought on a bit of a whim, I was thoroughly rewarded. Tight, well organized electronics mixed with earnest and sultry vocals create really good late night mood music, or a relaxing introspective listen.Vinyl is black, jacket is printed on a very matte cardboard which soaks the ink, which causes it to not look very brilliant. Love the art.

A wonderfully fresh sound for electronic music
I'll let the music speak for itself. I just wanted an opportunity to give this its well-deserved five stars. Brilliant album.
