"if past releases have witnessed them painstakingly recreating a sonic approximation of Superman’s crystalline Fortress of Solitude; this is the one that sees them howling their hearts out as they bring it all crashing down around you." - The Quietus (Nature Morte review)
"They’ve always been known as minimalists performing at maximal volume, but the power conveyed in both the loudest and quietest moments here are something special." - Angry Metal Guy

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 to 2024's A Chaos Of Flowers, an album that builds on their ferocious 2023 album nature morte.

Lyrically, the songs explore the most vulnerable of human experiences, how marginalizations manifest internally and externally, the inner struggles of isolation, and co-existence in nature. A Chaos of Flowers draws on catharsis and beauty as well as the quagmire of disorientation and othering. The album is a monument of simultaneous serenity and disquiet, a subtle maelstrom of internal life.
Later this year, they release OST, their most naked and austere record to date, showcasing the trio’s preternatural instincts and deep musical intuition. Conceived as a score for an imagined film, the album was born from improvisation rather than composition.
Géis ( improv trio feat. Méabh McKenna/Eleanor Myler/Elaine Malone)
géis is an invocation, framing a mode of engagement where improvisation serves as an exploration of the potentialities and present components of a space; body, object, and atmosphere.
Originating from the Irish word for a spoken forewarning, spell, taboo, or blessing within mythology, géis or geasa have an essential function within narrative: commonly spoken by wise women or the othered or queered body, they initiate action and illuminate purpose within the temporality of a story. Here, the power of intention holds and echoes in action and activation of raw and sensitive sound weaving.
