Montreal band Braids have announced their new album, Deep In The Iris. This is their third LP and the follow-up to their sophomore album, Flourish // Perish. Driven by roomy acoustic instrumentation and tasteful electronics, Deep In The Iris is easily Braids’ sunniest and most immediate record. While the icy, airless production of their second album Flourish // Perish suited the songs’ inward gaze, the widescreen warmth and full-bodied punch of Deep In The Iris are the perfect complement to its unflinching lyricism. -Arbutus Records
