Braid – “Many Enemies”
on July 31, 2013
“Many Enemies” might be the best new Braid track since 1999. Though that isn’t saying too much– the Illinois emo powerhouse has only released a two-part anthology of past works, a cringe-inducing four-song EP, and a split 7″ with adolescent contemporaries Balance and Composure on which the song appears– it’s a testament to the group’s durability that they can still produce work to not only wistfully echo their genre-defining hits of the ’90s, but prove competitive in the millennial scene as well.
