Big Brave 'A Chaos Of Flowers'

'A Chaos Of Flowers' expands on the raw intensity of BIG|BRAVE's 2023 album 'nature morte'. Often described as masters of "massive minimalism," the trio creates powerful, textured soundscapes with distortion, feedback, and carefully crafted dynamics. BIG|BRAVE pushes the boundaries of heavy music by combining elements of traditional folk with a modern, deconstructed approach to guitar-driven music. Guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie drew inspiration from poems by artists whose words reflect the marginalized and overlooked, infusing the album with both emotional depth and resonance.

Alongside guitarist Mathieu Ball and drummer Tasy Hudson, Wattie shapes these poems into compositions that are both dense and fragile, using minimalist techniques and inventive percussion. Guest musicians like Marisa Anderson, Tashi Dorji, and Patrick Shiroishi add layers of blues, atmospheric guitar, and saxophone, while producer Seth Manchester amplifies the sonic intensity. BIG|BRAVE continues to redefine what it means to be heavy, collaborating with artists like The Body and touring with influential acts such as Sumac and SUNN O))). Their unique approach to sound ensures they remain trailblazers in the contemporary metal scene.
