![]() On nature morte those foundations may remain essential but as usual the band have tried to recalibrate and reconstitute for an even broader impact. Ever since core members Robin Wattie (vocals/guitar) and Mathieu Ball (guitars) experienced a ‘loud can be quiet’ epiphany over a decade ago, ditching the acoustics and plugging in, their elemental sound has set the aerobatic thrill of Wattie’s singular voice within a swirling storm of riffs, distortion and pummelling rhythms. Yes this new BIG|BRAVE offering continues as resolutely heavy music, sonically, conceptually and lyrically. nature morte, available from 24th February on Thrill Jockey, is the latest categorical proof of their enduring creativity. Exploring the challenging frontiers of drone-shaded, slow core, electric rock since 2014 and still discovering cracks of inspiration is a tough pursuit but that’s what BIG|BRAVE do, time and time again. If nothing else the release of nature morte, the sixth album from the Montreal post metal unit BIG|BRAVE, is a testament to the band’s stamina and stoic dedication to their work. ![]()
