I keep forgetting to listen to this, really excited

 

Braids are the greatest Canadian band outside of BSS, so im stoked to listen to this. I remember loving the first two Blue Hawaii releases.

 

Yes, Braids is amazing. I forgot this was out, so thanks for the bump.

 

Finally listening to this and oh boy is it wonderful.

 

wow I love this

props to them covering this fucking classic

 

GvB put this on their best of 2017 list and it reminded me how fantastic it is.

 

omg i still havent heard it, i keep forgetting to listn :(

 

Thought we were supposed to be getting new Braids but I guess I’ll take this.

Open Reduction Internal Fixation

 

That song rules

 

The new record is so good. After a few days, seems like maybe my favorite project they've put out. It's such a shame that Blue Hawaii (and Braids) don't get too much love, Raphaelle has put out so much cool music this decade. I can't find a video or any free streaming to link it, but "On a High" is my favorite from the new record.
