After slowly meting out tracks from the album for the last few weeks, Braids is streaming their sophomore LP Flourish // Perish in full on Pitchfork. It’s the Canadian trio’s first full-length album since fourth member Katie Lee’s departure, and it represents a strong step forward for both the band’s electronic evolution and the accessibility that electronic experimentation can and will have.
When we talked to the band this summer they spoke to the simple yet undeniable benefits of time. More time spent with their instruments, more time spent with music programs, more time spent together. They’re about to start reaping all the benefits.
