This is BRAIDS, a trio (and apparently former four-piece) from Calgary. I missed their 2011 debut album Native Speaker, which was shortlisted for Canada’s Polaris Music Prize. Their next album, Flourish // Perish, comes out August 20. If the album sounds like this song — my god, the drumming alone! — I’ll be listening to the album non-stop for the rest of the year.

Also note they’re coming through town in October, playing the lovely, tiny Sunset Tavern on the 23rd. See you there?
