Slant Reviews Braids
Slant Magazine writes that Braids’ singer Raphaelle Standell-Preston “boasts one of the more versatile and distinct voices in modern rock. She’s able to emote with a breathy whisper or deliver a full-force belt, each imbued with singular intonations.” Her voice is crystal clear on the trio’s new LP Shadow Offering, and Slant has a full review here. The record demonstrates “versatility,” Slant contends, as “Braids locate something of a sweet spot, embracing a restrained plainspokenness without completely veering from the outré flourishes and melancholic, midtempo jams that are their specialty.”
