Native Speaker by Braids
At a super young age of 18 years old, Braids self recorded their debut album in Canada. The result is "Native Speaker", with strong shoegaze, pop, electronic, and a bit experimental overtones it sets the mood for a beautiful landscape helping it stand out in today's Pop world.
BRAIDS’ was formed by four best friends in their last year of High School in Calgary, Alberta. Convincing one another to skip university, they stayed in the garage all year and practiced obsessively, even while their fingers froze during the cold prairie winters. Then, at only 18 years old, they took the bold step of moving across the country together to Montreal, where they began crafting their self recorded/self produced debut album Native Speaker.
