Braids – Young Buck (Music Video)
Montreal-based JUNO winning art-pop trio Braids teased an upcoming release back in November 2019 with the dreamy-pop single ” Eclipse (Ashley)”. Today, the band have officially announced their new album Shadow Offering will be released April 24, 2020 and alongside the news is the lead single “Young Buck” and its accompanying music video.
“Young Buck” is an lustful exploration of seduction and young love, as lead singer Raphaelle Standell-Preston explains:
“We wrote this song to capture the nervous anticipation of desire, the delicate chase of seduction, the highs and lows of obsession, and the humour in between. To want to possess someone, make them desire you, fall for you, only to learn that to lust is not to love.”
The vintage-tinged music video plays openly with the themes, as Standell-Preston and her handsome “young buck” get twisted and turned together.
Watch the video below, and head to Braid’s website to pre-order Shadow Offering. As well, they will be embarking on a European tour this spring (dates below).
