New BIG|BRAVE (massive, slow, heavy FFO: Low, SUNN, The Body, folk music...)

I am pretty sure I made another thread for this band but the godforsaken search function won't let me search for their name so here's another one. I saw this band open for SUNN in 2015 and they absolutely stole the show, I've been a huge fan ever since. They released A Chaos of Flowers last month and it's nothing short of massive. @BlackMastodon @MFB @crushingpetal and whoever else....

Wow. The way they recorded this sounds very real/convincing. Her voice freaks me out but I love the way it all comes together.

Probably the best way to describe them, honestly.

Will absolutely be checking out the full album tomorrow while doing some house projects.

I honestly haven't heard anything that sounded this organic in a long time. The separation on all the sounds is really defined and it feels like they're all playing in a room together. It's worth listening just for the recording alone. I am going to sit with it but her delivery might be too much for me. Either way it's interesting.

 

[BlackMastodon]

Oh yeah, that's some good stuff right there. Just listened to it at work and really dig it, so I'm sure I'll keep coming back to it.

 

[neurosis]

I keep coming back to this. It's so well recorded that I don't care about the few stylistic issues I have with it. It sucks you in.

I need to listen to this on something other than my phone, y'all are getting me hyped on it!

I've had this on two different sets of noice cancelling headphones and it's totally immersive. Come to think I wonder if this has some binaural easter eggs in there that are giving me a vibe I wouldn't get from playing this on a stereo (car, room... etc).

I only listened to the first two new album tracks in my car. I'm digging it and will have to try it with some cans!

Highly recommend, I also listened with a good pair of noise canceling ear buds with decent eq. The album as a whole feels super meditative and was a great way to break up my usual playlists and work calls.

Slightly off topic but I think if y'all like the more traditionally structured songs of BIG|BRAVE then you might be into this:



My partner came across this song a few years back and it had a similar vibe with the haunting way she sings that I dig. Reminded me a bit of the song that got me into B|B:

Anna von Hausswolff rocks, a friend got me into her last year. Dead Can Dance was one of my favorite bands as a teen, she scratches a similar itch.

The session she did with Sunn O))) was phenomenal.

I was a weird little kid that was really into folk music up till about 11 years old, when i transitioned into rock and metal. I've always liked metal with some sort of haunting feeling about it, either in the vocals or the guitars, and also doomy sounding music. This scratches almost every musical itch i have all in one go. I love her voice and the way she sings so much.
