Having done time as the touring drummer for \u003cstrong\u003eA Place To Bury Strangers\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTR\/ST\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLe Butcherettes\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSextile\u003c\/strong\u003e, and many others, Braswell has performed on nearly every continent and played internationally renowned festivals such as \u003cstrong\u003eCoachella\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCruel World\u003c\/strong\u003e. As such, it should come as no surprise that her impressive resumé shines through in the expertly crafted, ethereal dream pop of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eRising\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e. Simultaneously evoking the airy, atmospheric sensibilities of \u003cstrong\u003eCocteau Twins\u003c\/strong\u003e, the pop-forward experimentation of \u003cstrong\u003eKate Bush\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the hyper-danceable, retro synthwave of contemporary artists like \u003cstrong\u003eRiki\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNuovo Testamento\u003c\/strong\u003e, Braswell’s self-assured presence as both a songwriter and vocalist results in an effort that bears none of the awkward growing pains one might expect from a new project. Equally arresting is Braswell’s lyrical finesse, with profoundly evocative and delicately personal narratives elevating the already deeply affecting music to heights that border on the sublime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMoving from the relative anonymity of a drum kit to the revealing illumination of center stage comes with its own unique set of anxiety-inducing challenges, but if Braswell is experiencing any trepidation, it certainly doesn’t show in the quality of her music. Then again, when you’ve already toured with Iggy and the Stooges by age 20, maybe embarking on a solo career seems quaint in comparison. What’s beyond debate is that Braswell has a remarkable knack for songwriting and performance that is self-evident on her stunning debut. Accomplished a career as it already, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRising\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e feels like just one more step forward in an ever-growing body of work that is much greater than the sum of its parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Lia Braswell:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This record took years for me to write. I wrote every single day since 2013, which was the practice that helped me get through to the words and sentiment that would be able to condense such deep emotions into 4-5 minute songs.
