About this product

After releasing the Rainsnowmatch 7Inch in 1994, Braid's debut full-length, Frankie Welfare Boy Age Five, came out in June 1995 on Divot Records. With 26 blistering tracks in just under 60 minutes, the members of Braid - Bob Nanna, Todd Bell, Chris Broach and Roy Ewing - simultaneously encapsulated and redefined the Midwest scene from which they came.Frankie Welfare Boy Age Five is a meticulously crafted record that never once feels anything other than raw and organic. Starting with the song titles (each begins with a different letter of the alphabet), it soon becomes clear that no aspect of the album is superfluous.Even the between-track interim is filled with precision. Nanna and Bell spent six hours adding static and snippets of music from their old bands and friends' bands (including Cap'n Jazz, Friction, The Sky Corvair and Mary Me) to give listeners the feeling of tuning a radio dial while listening to the record.This attention to detail is especially evident in the music. Never uniform and always challenging, the songs on FWBA5 continually change tone, volume, and structure within time spans that sometimes swell to more than three minutes, but are most often contained to one or two. Featuring a more aggressive, hardcore-influenced sound than later Braid releases, these tracks manage to be both abrasive and melodic, brief yet lasting.With Frankie Welfare Boy Age Five, Braid introduced itself to a national audience - one which it would continue to build over years of extensive touring and the of two more full-lengths, nine 7Inchs and numerous compilation appearances. Album Tracks 1. Angel Falls 2. Capricorn 3. Minuet 4. New Dollar Building 5. Lining Lake Michigan 6. Wax Wings 7. Garner Hall Music Room 8. Hugs from Boys 9. Three Point Turn 10. Eeyore and Easel 11.

Braid - No Coast   - VINYL LP

Limited red and blue colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes and sticker. You don't have to be a music industry insider to know that there's currently a desire for '90s revivalism, with hordes of defunct bands coming out of the woodwork to do one quick lap on the festival circuit and get the praise they always deserved but never earned their first time around. But Braid knew from the start that this was never meant to be a cash-in reunion. With the ten-year anniversary of No Coast, it's clear this isn't where Braid's story ended-it's where a new chapter began. InchI hope No Coast can be an introduction for people who haven't heard Braid before,Inch says Broach. InchIt'd be great if some of the old fans were into it as well, but we want to grow as a band. We worked hard on this record. We want it to be the album people listen to; the one where they go, 'That's the one.'Inch Album Tracks 1. Bang 2. East End Hollows 3. No Coast 4. Damages! 5. Many Enemies 6. Pre Evergreen 7. Put Some Wings on That Kid 8. Lux 9. Doing Yourself in 10. Climber New Entry 11. Light Crisis 12. This Is Not a Revolution

Braids - Euphoric Recall   - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Includes . Over the past decade, Braids have devoted themselves to exploring their art, together, making for one of the more daring and fluid catalogs in contemporary experimental pop. JUNO Award winners and twice-shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, Braids see their story as a series of actions and reactions, a collective expression that swings like a pendulum between process-driven precision and open-hearted freeness. For their fifth full-length, Euphoric Recall, the band embraced the latter, intuitively pursuing the playful joy and spontaneity they'd been craving in the absence of live performances - the Inchkinetic and excitingInch (The New York Times) energy that's become their superpower across over 500 shows played worldwide. Standell-Preston found herself in the rush of new love, drawing generously from her tender heart space, which Smith and Tufts, renewed by recent collaborations and studio work, understood intrinsically. As songs emerged, the rhythms and textures became brighter and looser, unhurried and brimming with life, the result of greenlighting the ideas that simply felt good the second they hit the air. Often written on the spot in just a few takes, Standell-Preston's lyrics are vivid, exhilarating, and evocative, a directness indicative of fully knowing oneself and engaging the moment. Organic and electronic elements weave in and out, shading a rich universe without crowding it. Self-produced and for the first time composing and arranging string parts, the band welcomed the guiding flourishes of an ensemble on cello, viola, and violins. The sound is rich and sprawling yet captured with in-the-room clarity; it grooves viscerally, freer, and wholly anew. Braids abandoned strategy, burned it down, and realized their love record. Love, all of it; the unbound bliss, the budding impulses, and the messy imperfections, a supernova sw
