Braids - Native Speaker (Kanine Records)
Genre: Pop, Folk, Electronic
Released: January 18
Calgary to Montreal, the four insolent Braids have succeeded as an epic musical geographically. Braids is already part of those groups which will be discussed a lot in 2011. The first single, "Lemonade", has meanwhile already toured the world web more than once.
Would I feel the hands of the beginning of the year? We must admit that first impressions are more than satisfactory. I limit myself to some music and MySpace. But the universe is then suspended in an electronic cocoon mixed with many influences. Braids flirts with several styles conventional, without departing from the rank of pop music to folk, jazz, rock and smashed bits of string.
The result appears to be homogeneous. Enough air, detached. First, it is the singer and guitarist Raphael Standell-Preston show off, dominating the debate and bringing the group on a cloud. Probably thanks to this voice perched like a Björk, slightly less exuberant. The album
Native Speaker has taken two years to prepare for lay seven tracks (which is rather disappointing, but good). It is now very close to being launched, and apparently will be quite different, sometimes minimalist, sometimes repetitive and hypnotic. Bet it will be original and a beauty that seems already evident.
