Illinois emo favorites Braid have announced a 25th anniversary reissue of their acclaimed 1998 album, Frame & Canvas. Remixed and remastered from producer J. Robbins’ original tapes, it’s out April 7 via Polyvinyl. The reissue comes with expanded liner notes and unseen archival press photos. Check out a new video for “Killing a Camera,” featuring previously unreleased footage, below.
Braid have also announced a summer tour, which takes them across the United States in July. They’re set to appear at Birmingham, Alabama’s Furnace Fest in September, too.
“As the original recording and mixing session of the album was done in a five-day panic, we’re thrilled that J. had the idea and the opportunity to take the time to revisit the raw tracks and create new mixes,” Braid’s Bob Nanna said a statement. “In addition, working with our long-time friends Polyvinyl on this reissue has been a major 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 for excited friends, old and new.”
