Dreaming up new ways to conjure visions in the masses is the primary profession of many musicians, though probably none more so than Calgary/Montreal art rock quartet Braids. Their debut full-length Native Speaker has managed to do just that, earning accolades from music fans, musicians, critics, and …. well… us…. (who are we kidding)

Check out a yet to be released track, and Native Speaker staple “Lemonade”; and be sure to hit up the band over on Facebook for more info on one of Canada’s top rising acts.
