Over the past decade, Montreal’s Braids — musicians Taylor Smith, Raphaelle Standell-Preston, and Austin Tufts — have devoted themselves to exploring their art together, making for one of the more daring and fluid catalogs in contemporary experimental pop. On their fifth album, Euphoric Recall, Braids abandoned strategy, burned it down, and realized their love record.

Standell-Preston appeared on @ashestoashescjlo to talk about the LP, composing string arrangements for the first time, and "getting a lot of purpose" from performing live.
