MP3: Braids – Amends

Posted on April 29th, by digits in MP3


Braids have embraced the darkness! A lovely single from the Montreal band who basically now sound like a dead ringer for Raphaelle’s other project Blue Hawaii. But that’s a good thing, wethinks. Braids are releasing this track as part of a 12″ on Arbutus.

Blue Hawaii re-releases Blooming Summer

Posted on January 8th, by digits in New Release

Blue Hawaii‘s album Blooming Summer is being re-released, on CD for those who were too cassette-averse to purchase it last year. We love Blooming Summer – it was #4 on our year-end albums list so we highly recommend picking it up from the Arbutus shop. To sweeten the deal, there’s two bonus tracks: “Floral,” in which the duo is joined by two of the members of Braids and a remix of “Dream Electrixra” by David Carriere of Silly Kissers. Arbutustastic! “Floral” is streaming above – and it’s an excellent song.
