Based in Portland, Oregon, Braille is known mostly for his work with LIGHTheaded, though he's also dropped several quality solo albums. Weapon Aid is his sixth official record, and is even more intensely personal and autobiographical than his earlier material, with many of the tracks focused exclusively on his family life and struggles to overcome various personal challenges. Produced mostly by Big Jess (of Unknown Prophets), it sports 10 solid tracks overflowing with themes of struggle, anger, self-improvement, and redemption, with the main figures being Braille himself, his wife, daughter, and Jesus. Despite the heavy, heart-on-his-sleeve lyricism, it comes off neither depressing nor over-the-top, just an extremely raw and honest piece of music that "keeps it real" a lot more than most. Standout selections: "Give Myself," "Resurrect Me," and "Nothing Left to Say."
