LISTEN: Braids’ eight-song playlist for Artist Mixtapes

For their fifty-fourth mixtape, ArtistMixtapes.com calls on Montreal avant-pop quartet Braids to select eight songs that they love. These folks are undoubtedly among Canada’s most promising up-and-coming acts, and their debut LP Native Speaker was shortlisted for the 2011 Polaris Prize (which went to Arcade Fire, because of course it did). Unsurprisingly, the band’s buddies Azeda Booth make it on to this playlist, along with Animal Collective, Women, and others. Tracklist is below, and you can stream the whole mix over at Artist Mixtapes:

Songs Braids have been listening to lately

4. Stephen Bodzin – Turbine
