Thought I’d get you guys to experiment a bit today!

Braids are a quartet from Alberta, Canada. Their band page at Kanine Records describes their sound as:

‘Oscillating between density and spaciousness, BRAIDS’ sound is not easy to define. The four members construct music which is ample and rolling, perhaps alluding to the landscapes of their youth, but filled with radical texture and startling immediacy, an influence of their more recent surroundings. Delicate layering gives their experimental pop epics just enough breath to playfully explore the depth of ambient melody. Though BRAIDS dives into moments of deep obscurity and sonic experimentation, there remains embedded within the music the hypnosis of an unforgettable pop tune.’

In a nutshell their songs take some getting used to but are worth the effort :). Lemonade is the standout song from their debut album Native Speaker for me. Have a listen and let me know what you think about the song.
