Experimental band Braids is set to release a new album on April 28th. With this date getting closer, they have premiered one of the songs from the album, "Taste". The track definitely gives you a "taste" of their sound. With stuttered rhythms mixed with atmospheric piano chords and phrases, the band creates a full, warm sound that complements the beautifully sung lyrics. The new album, "Deep In The Iris", is full of this warm sounding music. They will begin a US tour with Purity Ring starting on May 18th in Utah.  You can listen to "Taste" and check out their upcoming tour dates below.
