Braids confirm ‘Deep in the Iris’ album, stream ‘Miniskirt’

Canadian group Braids have announced plans to release their third album, ‘Deep in the Iris’. It’s out 27th April on Arbutus.

The album is said to explore “a number of heavy subjects, including pornography, abuse, and slutshaming”, lead track ‘Miniskirt’ being a striking example.

‘Miniskirt’ opens with a telling verse from Raphaelle Standell-Preston, where she sings: “Liberated’s what you wanna call it. How about unfairly choked?” and “I’m not a man-eater, I enjoy them like cake. But in my position I’m the slut, I’m the bitch, I’m the whore, the one you hate.”

01 Letting Go
02 Taste

04 Happy When
05 Miniskirt
