The 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC version of Brat is available through various high-fidelity streaming platforms and digital retailers.

It was the summer of Brat. The world had turned a specific shade of slime-green. The aesthetic was everywhere: on billboards, in the typography of unread emails, in the way people walked with a chaotic, synthesized swagger. But Jax was searching for something deeper than the trend. He believed that Charli XCX had hidden something within the high-frequency ceilings of the album—a subliminal texture that only the audiophiles could detect.

For the casual listener who streams Brat on a JBL Bluetooth speaker while cooking dinner? No. The 256kbps AAC from Apple Music is fine.
