Artist Biography
One of Canada's most acclaimed experimental pop acts, Braids weave together dream pop, electronic music, and Raphaelle Standell-Preston's voice in sensual, thought-provoking ways. The intricate yet exploratory style of 2011's debut album Native Speaker -- which they recorded when they were barely in their twenties -- earned them acclaim as well as comparisons to Björk and Animal Collective. Over time, their music grew even more distinctive and expressive, spanning the restrained electro-pop portraits of loss and hope on 2013's Flourish//Perish to the organic warmth and healing of 2015's Juno Award-winning Deep in the Iris. With the guitar-heavy catharsis of 2020's Shadow Offering and the flowing electro-acoustic meditations of 2023's Euphoric Recall, Braids reaffirmed that despite the breadth of their sound, powerful emotions always drove their music.
