The meditative power of crushing noise is celebrated by no other young rock band more violently and tenderly than Big|Brave from Montreal. They bathe their audience in a viscous bass sludge that glows with smouldering feedback. Their 20-minute-long epics with tiny, mantra-like motifs intensify into sublime cathartic noise. In the sudden, all-the-more-painful moments of silence vocalist Robin Wattie announces words of disgust and devotion, love and desire: transcendental sounds for an insatiable lust revealed in forlorn melodies.
