Braids performing at the Calgary Folk Fest 2011 on Stage 5, Friday. There was a massive downpour all day but the rain stopped for a brief period during this show. After opening with "Glass Dears", Braids goes into the extended jam that is "Candy Spills" which melts into "Lemonade". From Pitchfork:
The loop that drives "Lemonade" reads like an EKG, dipping and rising steadfastly as the rhythm section builds a limber, athletic pace and introduces Raphaelle Standell-Preston's intriguing and idiosyncratic vocals. She's not without precedent: tonally there's some Régine Chassage in her higher register, and her knack for knocking the listener off course with well-placed vulgarity recalls prime-era Jenny Lewis. But the loopy, playful interaction of her and the strange, gripping placidity of Native Speaker feels like something all its own. She's demure as "Lemonade" begins but gets more and more unhinged as Braids hurtle forward. Despite the bizarre imagery she sets forth, the song is ultimately an impressionistic commentary on suburban romantic prospects-- "what I've found is that we're all just sleeping around."
