BANKS - Brain (Prod. By Shlohmo) (HQ Audio)

[EmilienBandrac]

After a decade of intense listening, I would consider this track as one of the best of the 2010s (for the musciality of the voice and the aesthetic of the production, which was ahead of it's time). Was so spectacular and innovative the day I discovered that track.

1:46 - 2:07

The distortion and layered vocals just pour out emotion, gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it and makes me turn the volume higher and higher. 

[Your_Role_Model]

She is just perfection. I don't remember the last time music made me feel that way

[jephbennett]

Whoever came up with that background melody, the distorted voice that sings over and over, is a FUCKING GENIUS. LOVELOVELOVELOVE

[RealKevDorta]

But it's all the same
I could have foreseen
That you would act like you are
Oh so cool you seem
Blending with that scene
Wearing what you think is hard

I can see you struggling
Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
'Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten anything they say

But it's all the same
I could have foreseen
That you would act like you are
Oh so cool you seem
Blending with that scene
Wearing what you think is hard

I can see you struggling
Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
'Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten everything they say

This song is absolutely amazing. She is so talented and her ability to emote is so incredibly captivating!!!

This whole album is so well produced that I still can't get over it, and it's been 8 years. Deep lyrics, unique voice and excellent, ahead of it's time production. Thank you for giving us this gem.

The song that first got me into banks. I miss the days I'd spend listening to her music all those years ago.. time to start playing her more

[LinhNobiii]

it has been so many years till the point things become blurred.. But suddenly with just a note or a melody, and everything can wave back, like it has never gone.
musics always bring back the most of everything :)
2021 with much of memories <3

I never listen to this type of music. But goddamn, she is just captivating with her voice. Beautiful. Simply. Beautiful.

[groovythenovatony]

Banks and Shlohmo. Cant ask for much more in music.

[ButterFlyViews]

After years and years this song still is my drug. I can't even explain what type of emotions you can get from this song especially if you are going through something deep.
" Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
'Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten anything they say "

Always could've relate to this.
Always gonna be thankful for this track because it's something else that even till this day I can't fully explain - beyond perfection.
