B•R•A•U•N breaks us off a fresh slice of 80's synth pop on "Gardens" - EARMILK

B•R•A•U•N is the new moniker of Ben Braun, one half of Portland, OR synth pop duo Mackintosh Braun. Today we have the pleasure of premiering the latest sin

A rich and luxuriant cascade of synthpop whisks us right off our feet as we dive head first into Prague, an intoxicating single from B•R•A•U•N . The song is Ben Braun’s debut solo release after having spent the last decade as one half of long time IHM enamoring duo Mackintosh Braun. Prague’s dreamy swirls and 80′s warmth are reminiscent of a cross between The Chain Gang of 1974 and School of Seven Bells. The single is the our first preview off of B•R•A•U•N’s debut album Silent Science, due out October 6th. The concept of the album began for Ben Braun as an awareness of the personal freedoms that he had sacrificed to live in the comforts of new technology. “A longing for a more simple life pushes and pulls the album from past to present.” Prague serves as the most anthemic moment off the album, which will be arriving later this year via Diving Bell Recording Co.
