Their latest album, A Chaos Of Flowers, builds upon the ferocity of their previous release, nature morte, blending traditional folk techniques with a modern deconstruction of guitar music. Lyrically, the album delves into themes of vulnerability, isolation, and co-existence in nature, drawing on catharsis and beauty amidst disorientation and othering.
Guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie draws inspiration from poetry, particularly works by female-presenting artists, to explore the chaos and confusion of societal alienation. Collaborating with guitarist Mathieu Ball and drummer Tasy Hudson, Wattie shapes poetry into dense yet vulnerable compositions, while guest musicians like Marisa Anderson, Tashi Dorji, and Patrick Shiroishi add depth to the album’s atmospheric soundscapes.
Produced by Seth Manchester, A Chaos Of Flowers showcases BIG|BRAVE’s mastery of dynamics and distortion, challenging perceptions of heaviness and minimalism. Through inventive arrangements and intricate economies of space, the trio illuminates painfully overlooked perspectives, crafting an album that is both colossal and contemplative.
Support: MJ Guider (Kranky) MJ Guider is the moniker of New Orleans-based artist Melissa Guion, who crafts ethereal, minimalist music that bridges the realms of dream pop, ambient, and post-punk. Her sound is characterized by haunting vocals, atmospheric synths, and deep, resonant bass lines, creating a hypnotic and otherworldly experience. Guion’s debut album, Precious Systems (2016), released on Kranky Records, received critical acclaim for its innovative blend of textures and moods, evoking a sense of both intimacy and vast, sprawling landscapes.

MJ Guider continues to push the boundaries of genre, crafting soundscapes that are as emotionally evocative as they are sonically intricate.
