Illinois emo favorites Braid have announced a 25th anniversary reissue of their critically acclaimed 1998 album, frame and canvas. Remixed and remastered from the original tapes by producer J. Robbins, it’s out April 7 via Polyvinyl. The reissue comes with expanded liner notes and never-before-seen archival press photos. Check out a new video for “Killing a Camera,” featuring previously unseen footage, below.
Braid has also announced a summer tour, which will take them across the United States in July. They will also appear at Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama in September.
“As the original recording and mixing session for the album took place in a five-day panic, we are delighted that J. had the idea and the opportunity to take the time to go through the raw tracks and create new mixes,” said Bob of Braid. Nanna said a statement. “Also, working with our old friends Polyvinyl on this reissue has been a great burst of nostalgia and joy. We look forward to bringing that energy back on the road this year and look forward to playing the album to excited friends old and new.”
