Montréal, Québec, Canada-based experimental rock / metal group Big|Brave issued fourth full-length studio album A Gaze Among Them on May 10th, 2019 through Southern Lord Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety via the Bandcamp player below.
Vocalist / guitarist Robin Wattie commented: “The biggest challenge was to not do what is easiest. i.e. what we knew worked for the last albums or what is, for us; easy to write. With A Gaze Among Them, Mathieu and I put ourselves through the ringer – I did not want to do what seemed to me to be a ‘logical next step’ in what we could do musically. I wanted to go back to our original concepts and work from there – space, tension, minimalism, and voice (finding melody and musicality in pieces that consist of one note for longer than ten minutes, for example) were the primary concentrations I wanted to push.”
A Gaze Among Them was recorded with Seth Manchester at Machine with Magnets in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Manchester provides synth overdubs, with Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s Thierry Amar also making a guest appearance on contrabass.
