    The league Big|Brave are continuously uncovering is one of their own: not explicitly inviting, but altogether demanding and utterly rewarding.

    Big | Brave roars into action with the immense “Carriers, Farriers And Knaves” and proceeds through five subsequent tracks whose heaviness is substantially derived from a keen sense of texture – abetted and encouraged by producer Seth Manchester – and the anguished wail of guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie.

    The title of nature morte might reference death, but this music is frightfully, joyfully and overwhelmingly alive.

    An ample demonstration of their powers. [Apr 2023, p.25]

    A draining, breath-snatching release, nature morte satisfies on an intellectual level as much as one that is viscerally primal.

    nature morte is a wonderful, difficult album that requires patience and indulgence. The rewards are huge, though.

    It’s a brutal, intense listen, and certainly won’t be for everyone, but those who care to take the journey will find many rewards.

    It's the band's most dynamic, full-bodied recording to date, and a clear improvement over their somewhat rusty-sounding early releases, moving between lulling spaciousness and cathartic violence.
