Braids - Eclipse (Ashley) (Official Video)

[@mellowtron214]

Braids has a habitually underrated drummer. Some of the stuff this dude does is genius.

[@TinyPendle]

Without a doubt

[@stephenlynchprivate2137]

Very cocteau twins im loveing the songs alot uk tour be great to see

[@mellowtron214]

Even back in the Native Speaker/Lemonade days, the stuff he was playing was pretty complex yet tasteful as fuck. The drumming on “In Kind” IS INSANELY GOOD and is one of my favorite things to drum along with, same with this tune. It’s like Animal Collectives primitive non-drummer drumming + some tight jazz drumming with a heavy peppering of creativity and texturing. The more I listen and learn to play his parts, the more impressed I am and I am kinda hard to impress as far as drumming goes. I feel like a lot of his drumming ideas, other drummers would have left those sections empty or done something very simple, but he finds a way to take the most open ended sections and write a tasteful, technically difficult yet musically appropriate rhythm to it. Which is the entire name of the game. Any old chode can over drum through a part, or not drum at all, but the real masters find a way to service the music while never making it about their drumming, yet making it interesting enough to catch your ear. Whatever Braids drummers name is, he is insanely good at coming up with very musical, technical, great drum parts that are often quite busy, and other drummers can recognize as subtly badass, but somehow don’t outshine the total band until the moment calls for it. Which is rare indeed in pretty much any genre of music, but especially the folktronica-indie, synth wave whatever the fuck Braids is.

This is easily one of the best songs ever written by Braids. All in odd time, perfectly tangled melodies, her soaring crystal clear voice, and the final climax just breaks into your heart. Pure bliss.

[@braidsmusic]

Thank you so much! So glad you're blissing! We are always blissing when we play this one

[@bluesilkdesigns]

"What diverges me from my highest potential? Highest purpose?" Ha ha, myself 😂😭🥺 so real

[@puravidaterraquest]

I love this Song..the music is awesome and the band deserves more attention. Great compositions, brilliant arrangements. Awesome!

[@omisan771]

Easily the best Braids song.

[@owenkjartanson7476]

I am getting Joni Mitchell vibes from this. Which is quite unexpected. I think it is the vocal phrasing and the sunny feeling of the intro. Very happy to have new music from Braids. It's been too long.

[@pathogensmusick]

Definitely some Kate Bush vibes here too.

#PUS!YMELTER

[@Koshirozation]

@@sasporillo207 yes! if joni mitchell in mid to late 80s wrote a piano centered but adventurous ballad full of joy for life ahaha (CHEESY ALERT) and as a guest, kate bush is there with joni!

[@braidsmusic]

Joni is the queen of floating! Always striving❤️ thanks for the love

[@mellowtron214]

So the other chick from braids quit a while ago, and wrote an open letter to the other band mates saying they need to first take an “anti-oppression workshop” to begin mending their crimes against this chick. Good Gaia, faux-social justice is a cancer. It’s so deep it can infect bands as far down from the mainstream as Braids. Though they are Canadian left winger feminist types, so I’d wager they largely agree with these concepts, just when their applied to other people. Thought that was a bit absurd.

[@ughaghost]

absolutely loving the exploration of additional instruments added to the sound. also these visuals are stunning

[@jeanzam]

what a song! love the post rock guitars towards the end

[@jonahmcgarva]

jeanzam indeed. It’s a welcome return to the sound of the first album - but with a modern twist. Very beautiful.

[@evangelineadalioryn1622]

One of the hardest songs ever written. Period.

[@gregorybringanddedrumel7999]

just discovered your sound randomly, I love it!

[@NetMillionaire]

❤❤❤

[@johncooklynch]

Gorgeous video! Those greens!

[@WilliamGentryJr]

This song and video are exceptional!

[@gigitaylor6952]

beautiful song and music video

[@ashleyposty]

Kathryn brought me here ❤️ Beautiful song and video 😍🥰

[@jonahmcgarva]

What a beautiful video. This song certainly is very cerebral, literal and poetic. Not your typical pop-song writing nor structure - it reminds me more of an orchestral piece, just building upon emotions. The vocal delivery reminds me of Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and even a hint of Lou Reed. It’s story telling at its best, but not for the weak-at-heart.

[@rolandbroere9514]

The truth has been spoken

[@phlovecraft]

Magic song

[@francisbroka9471]

Sublime.

[@itheruler2157]

I don’t know why. But somehow this evokes the same feelings in me like when I’m listening to Cynic

[@Feelflowww]

Yay!!!!

[@AceHardy]

[@londonpinball]

Which Godin guitar model is that? It's gorgeous. Oh, and the song is amazing as well. :)

[@londonpinball]

Answered my own question. It's a Godin Richmond Empire P90. Beautiful!

[@edidc9015]

This video ma’am 🥺😭♥️

[@420WILD]

What are those globes? Bee hives?

[@StephanMahlow]

I immediately think of Kate Bush when I watch this video.

[@gregorybringanddedrumel7999]

exactly my thoughts :D Viva la Kate!

[@lucioalbertogonzalezsanche9128]

Sounds like tori amos

[@zakon-Oma-production]

cool

[@francisbroka9471]

Can be downloaded only in 360p. WHY? WHY? WHY? That's horribly deceiving... :-((

[@francisbroka9471]

@Daniel Drader YTD downloader and KZbin MP4 videos downloader.com (on line). But my version of YTD donwloader is not free since yesterday and it was before. Now I must go to premium but I think it would be the same with it...

[@francisbroka9471]

@Daniel Drader Not funny... :-(

[@mvitulano]

If Joni Mitchell, Bjork and Kate Bush had a baby.....

[@stevewelsh8560]

im offended by this music, youtube must act now or I never use again.

[@AnyDrug]

I'll sign your petition..! xD

[@mordokch]

Stupid name for a band - I guess you put about 5 seconds of thought into that one lol. Braids is a name that 6 year olds would call their kitchen dance troupe.

[@abbyb2832]

okay but like who asked?

[@richardpavlik5585]

There music would be better with the pussy melter.

[@mordokch]
