Braids – Taste

To celebrate the announcement of their European tour, including a data at London’s Scala on November 24th, Braids have released the video to Taste. Taken from their third album Deep In The Iris, Taste is a delicate and emotive track, messy and confusing like a therapy session played out to music. The accompanying video beautifully shot by Kevan Funk, is powerful, raw and honest, exploring the fragility of being and relationships, both with ourselves and others.

Pick A Piper – All Her Colours

It helps to have friends. On latest project Pick a Piper, Caribou’s Brad Weber is joined by members of Ruby Suns, Enon/Brainiac, Born Ruffians and Braids. Beats and bass combine under guitars in what is a successful spread eagle straddling of rock and dance, capable of being played on the stereo and at a gig. All Her Colours is taken from the short and sweet debut album (it is barely longer than an EP at eight tracks long). This will be the first full length, after two EPs, released on November 4th through City Slang, along with a slew of November European tour dates. Complex, rhythmic, with a low rumbling bass line underpinning the euphoric build, it packs a punch whilst remaining intelligent and impactful. Using a palette of instruments not usually found on the dance floor, including glockenspiels, acoustic guitar, and flute. The chorus goes a bit too sunny and breezy, almost Two Door-esque, but on the verses and builds its dark and delicious. Oh, and I love the typewriter at the start of the video. Bonus points for that one.
