The momentum of Nature Morte conjures the image of a beast collapsing beneath its own weight before resiliently staggering upright to thunder onward. Big Brave convey heft from silence as deftly as they do from swaths of feedback and distortion to cathartic ends.
Across the album’s six pieces Big Brave create a tension between immediacy and patience, invoking the essence of disquiet, while conveying anguish through inventive arrangements and nuanced performances. Nature Morte captures Big Brave at their heaviest and their mournful fury is at its zenith, an album where each moment is so immense and consuming that it possesses its own gravitational pull.
