Braids announce first album in five years with wonky synth-pop jam "Young Buck"
Braids have returned with details of their first album in five years, Shadow Offering, alongside unveiling the lead single "Young Buck".
"Young Buck" is Braids' first new offering since last year's "Eclipse (Ashley)", which will also be included on their new record.
Vocalist Raphaelle Standell-Preston says of the new single, "We wrote this song to capture the nervous anticipation of desire, the delicate chase of seduction, the highs and lows of obsession, and the humour in between. To want to possess someone, make them desire you, fall for you, only to learn that to lust is not to love."
Shadow Offering is produced by Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla, and will be the group's first album since 2015's Deep In The Iris.
Standell-Preston says of their new record, "There's more hopefulness in this record than anything else I've written. I think the songs are more human, more tangible, more honest."
