BIG|BRAVE returns with a new album in 2023. Titled nature morte and set to release on Feb. 24 through Thrill Jockey, the band has shared one of the six new tracks now: "carvers, farriers and knaves."

“It is violent and terrible. It is crushing and alarming. It is common and basic,” guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie says of the new record in a statement. “It is catastrophic and disheartening.”

BIG|BRAVE nature morte track list:

1. carvers, farriers and knaves

2. the one who bornes a weary load

3. my hope renders me a fool

4. the fable of subjugation

5. a parable of the trusting

6. the ten of swords

Music that is meant to be listened too fully, as a whole, not in 2 minute pop biscuits, albeit I love that type of music as well. However, that … Read more
