Braids
Companion
Limited Copies come with a Arbutus Records Sampler CD. Braids are a three-piece experimental pop band from Montreal. In the spring of 2015 they released 'Deep In The Iris', their standout third record. 'Companion' is the band's latest 4 track EP, written during the 'Deep In The Iris' sessions, and completed during a burst of creative energy in August 2015. Here Braids use the palette of 'Deep In The Iris' to paint decidedly different vistas - joy, disaffection, thunderous explosion to delicate introspection, the minimalistic power of 'Companion' to the patient blossoming of 'Sweet World'. Distinct in their own right, these 4 songs are not to be dismissed as B-sides, outtakes, or the lesser of a group of songs. Though it uses 'Deep In The Iris' as a compositional guidepost, Companion is a breath-taking journey all of its own.
