BIG|BRAVE RELEASE NEW VIDEO FROM LATEST ALBUM AU DE LA;
EUROPEAN TOUR DATES INCOMING
BIG|BRAVE have released the first video from their gorgeous latest album Au De La, released on Southern Lord earlier this autumn, with the nearly 12 minute epic track ‘Look At How The World Has Made A Change’. Influenced by installations and video screenings that you expect to see in art galleries and museums, the video sees two images changing in contrast and hue. These subtle changes are reminiscent of the album’s evolutionary progression from minimalist to mammoth sonic heaviness.
BIG|BRAVE will also soon embark on their debut European tour this winter, in support of Au De La. The tour sees them visiting Germany, the Netherlands, France and Belgium including performances at the Le Guess Who? Festival and supporting heavyweights SUNN O))) at the YOYO in Paris. BIG|BRAVE shall then perform across the UK including ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas. The full dates are below:

About the album…presenting forty-five minutes of exploratory, post/avant rock, Au De La sees vocalist/guitarist Robin Wattie, guitarist Mathieu Bernard Ball and drummer Louis-Alexandre Beauregard creating a layered, engaging, memorable, and visceral album. With five expansive movements which transmit BIG|BRAVE‘s imaginative sounds with exceptional production values, Au De La was recorded at Hotel2Tango with Efrim Menuck (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra) and mastered by Harris Newman at Grey Market (Front Line Assembly, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, C H R I S T), several of its tracks also including striking veils of violin by Jessica Moss (Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra).
Au De La is available now on digital, CD, and on LP with both black and clear pressings. Order the physical versions via Southern Lord and the digital via bandcamp.
