Nature Morte

Description

Excellent new album from Canadians BIG BRAVE. The Montreal band colors the album's songs with unease, creating an air of beauty in decay, chords suspended in contemplative stillness. Robin Wattie's experience in structuring lyrics and song forms on The Body and BIG BRAVE's Leaving None But Small Birds inspired her work on nature morte, creating stories that, like many folk tales, are both specific and universal. Wattie's voice manages to be both imposing and vulnerable, with impressive range and intimacy.
