A Chaos Of Flowers
is an album that builds on their ferocious 2023 album
Nature Morte
.
BIG|BRAVE
's music has been described as massive minimalism. Their fusillades of textural distortion and feedback emphasize their music's frayed edges as much as its all-encompassing weight. The potency of the trio's work is their singular artistry combining elements of traditional folk techniques and a modern deconstruction of guitar music. Gain, feedback, and amplitude are essential. For
A Chaos Of Flowers
guitarist/vocalist
Robin Wattie
drew heavily on the poems of artists whom Wattie found kinship in, their words resonant with experiences of those often sidelined by cultural norms. 'I discovered that most poems from folk traditions or in the public domain seem to be by men -- to which I could not quite relate. In my search, I rediscovered some of my favorite works and poets,' says Wattie. Guitarist
Mathieu Ball
and drummer
Tasy Hudson
help Wattie shape poetry into pieces as dense and impenetrable as they are vulnerable. BIG|BRAVE achieve their colossal sound through minimalist approaches, a deft understanding of dynamics and an inventive employment of percussion and distortion. The trio reconceptualize what it is to be heavy or minimal, challenging perceptions with their illumination of painfully overlooked perspectives. Guest guitarist
Marisa Anderson
lends earthen, blues-inflected atmospheres to the album, where guitarist
Tashi Dorji
and saxophonist
Patrick Shiroishi
amplify the squall. Working closely with frequent collaborator and producer/engineer
Seth Manchester
, the internal tumult of Wattie's voice rings out in warbles, haunting echoes, and unearthly harmonies across bold immense walls of distortion. BIG|BRAVE have collaborated with metal monsters
The Body
on a previous Thrill Jockey release,
Leaving None But Small Birds
, and have toured internationally with bands like
SUMAC
,
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
,
SUNN O)))
, and
Lingua Ignota
. As they continue to ascend in their journey as pioneers in the contemporary metal scene, it's safe to say that BIG|BRAVE are here to stay."
