\u201cThis upcoming concert series will be our most ambitious live shows yet, as we are joined on stage by string ensembles and\u00a0immersive live visuals,\u201d<\/em> stated the band. \u201cOur new album\u00a0Euphoric Recall\u00a0sees us writing and arranging for strings for the very first\u00a0time. As the album took shape we knew that we wanted to have the lush, cinematic textures of a real string ensemble. We set out\u00a0teaching ourselves how to compose for strings – in the room all 3 of us throwing melodic and textural ideas back and forth – a real\u00a0creative sandbox approach. Having the arrangements come to life in the studio was an absolute highlight for us and as we heard the\u00a0songs elevated to new levels, we knew that we had to present a version of the live show with the full ensemble. These six shows, in\u00a0some of our favorite music cities, will be the very first taste of that, and the first time we\u2019ve ever played live with expanded\u00a0orchestration. We have also been working with installation\/digital media artist Nima Navab on creating immersive AI generated visuals\u00a0to accompany our album. We\u2019ve been sharing this over the past couple months online and it’s been fun to see people as intrigued by\u00a0the uncanny visuals as we are. These immersive and sometimes overwhelming videos will even further elevate the shows into the\u00a0most holistic presentation of our musical world. Over the past 10 years we have been lucky enough to play over 500 concerts all\u00a0around the world, so we see this performance series as an exciting new journey for us. These will certainly be shows not to miss. We\u00a0look forward to seeing you out there!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A freer and wholly anew effort,\u00a0\u2018Euphoric Recall\u2019\u00a0finds 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.\u00a0The 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\u00a0rhythms and textures became brighter and looser, brimming with life.\u00a0Written, recorded, self-produced, and mixed at Studio Toute Garnie, their Montr\u00e9al studio, the music of\u00a0\u2018Euphoric Recall\u2019\u00a0is both\u00a0unrushed and urgent, lush yet captured with in-the-room clarity. Elements weave in and out, shading a rich universe without crowding it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Order\/Pre-Save\u00a0\u2018Euphoric Recall<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braids have teased several songs from\u00a0\u2018Euphoric Recall\u2019\u00a0to date, including\u00a0Apple<\/a> and\u00a0Evolution<\/a><\/em>. The album’s first single\u00a0Retriever<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is also out now, a luscious and meandering 9-minute journey that\u00a0Stereogum<\/a><\/em>\u00a0raved “builds and glides over an expansive runtime,”<\/em> while\u00a0Exclaim!<\/a><\/em>\u00a0stated “the song is a sleek, bubbling odyssey that incorporated delicate drum machines and waves of metallic guitar.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
