Braids – Euphoric Recall [Streaming]

Today the Montreal based band Braids dropped their anticipated album called Euphoric Recalled via Secret City Records.
This is probably one of their strongest and daring effort mostly with their music including strings on Left/Right and vocals by Raphaelle when you listen to Supernova with wailing.
Getting this kind of Björk a-la Post/Homogenic vibe which has that sonically emotional soundscape feel.

About the album by Braids:
A freer and wholly anew effort, Euphoric Recall finds the trio abandoning strategy, burning it down, and realizing their love record.
Love, all of it; the unbound bliss, the budding impulses, and the messy imperfections, a supernova swirled up in a suite of bold, melodic, symphonic pop songs surrendered to the present. The complexity of love and healing is not a new subject for Braids, but the vantage from which they see and sense it here is.

Standell-Preston’s lyrics draw generously from her heart space, often writing on the spot, in just a few takes.
Lines are vivid, exhilarating, and evocative, a directness indicative of fully knowing oneself and engaging the moment. As songs emerged, the rhythms and textures became brighter and looser, brimming with life.

Written, recorded, self-produced, and mixed at their Montréal studio, the music of Euphoric Recall is both unrushed and urgent, lush yet captured with in-the-room clarity.
Elements weave in and out, shading a rich universe without crowding it.
Tufts brought a sharpened ear to sessions after producing records for Devon Welsh, Tess Roby, and others, sensing what songs needed from his drums, be it subtle balance or cathartic, jazz-inflected fills.

Smith arrived from the depths of solo experiments and studio work, an ever-thorough multi-instrumentalist and sound designer with a renewed feel for fun and a move-forward mindset. Along with the album’s thematic sensuality, Standell-Preston carried the pulse of her club-minded project, Blue Hawaii, adding to their shared desire for new material to groove more viscerally.
