Minimalistic trio BIG|BRAVE have announced their new album, titled ‘A Chaos Of Flowers’, will be released on the 19th of April via Thrill Jockey Records. Along with the album’s announcement, the Canadian trio have shared the video for new single ‘I Felt A Funeral’.
On the creation of the video, guitarist Mathieu Ball notes,
“The making of this video employed a similar process as we do when writing music. As we’ve learned to let the flow of ideas take its course, the act of creating works whether with fully formed concepts or an unfinished notion, starting the work itself acts as a sort of guide to where the final outcome may land. We realised that something more visually minimal than what we first imagined was the way to go.”
By using a single-take that loosely follows Wattie’s movements, with moments of imperfection, lost focus, and fluctuations in lighting,
“the performer (Robin) and the audience both partake in this visual and aural conversation together creating a more intimate visual space. The audience is led in and out of her intimate space all while being kept at safe distance. Paired with the lyrical content, it can be considered an apt representation of the elements of mental collapse – a simplified visual dance with the inner and outside world.”
A buzzing intense sonic experience that is more about feeling than soundwaves. Wattie is the star of the show as her voice cuts through with a clear emotive force that punches through the distorted and stark background. The rough edges of the guitars vibrate with a menacing and cold slap which is soothed by the warm vocal hug. If you do nothing else this year, make sure you listen to this band.
