Robin Wattie & Matthieu Ball of
B I G▐ B R A V E started writing subtle ambient/minimalistic folk songs together in 2012 with no other goal than experimenting with the instruments in their possession. Louis Alexandre Beauregard joined on drums, yet the goal still remained to play as tranquil as possible. After Wattie’s acoustic guitar broke and borrowing an electric, they started using larger amps however never lost interest in the power of minimalism and fragility. It became clear that loud volume would become just as effective as the lowest possible ones and the juxtaposition of both would become something they still use as their main MO to this day.
After self-releasing ‘Feral Verdure’ in 2014, the band opened for THEE SILVER MT. ZION, after which Efrim Manuel Menuck found something meaningful and invited them to open on future shows with Mt Zion and GODSPEED! YOU BLACK EMPEROR. In 2015 the band entered the studio with Menuck to record ‘Au De La’, and the band joined Southern Lord Records.
Since their inception the band has had many honours and privileges of touring a number of times in North America & Europe with bands such as SUNN O))), MY DISCO, THE BODY, THOU, PRIMITIVE MAN and THEE SILVER MT. ZION. BIG BRAVE on Spotify, Bandcamp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, website
