Minimalism and instinct, structure/freedom and meticulous timing form the cornerstones of Big Brave's precise, rhythmical sound. On their new album Vital, the recording features the core trio Robin Wattie, Mathieu Ball and Tasy Hudson, for their most collaborative record they've made so far. The band comments, "having cut our teeth in very different musical backgrounds respectively, our intuitions vary, which has an interesting effect on our individual approaches and ears."
Lyrically, Vital explores the weight of race and gender, endurance and navigating other people's behaviors, observation and protest. The band further commented "this album involves what it means navigating the outside world in a racialized body and what it does to the psyche as a whole while exploring individual worth within this reality."
On Vital, Big Brave once again made the trek down to Rhode Island to record with Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets. They remark, "we fully trust his instinct as an engineer and his creative output, getting to experiment with textures, concepts, layers, and with pretty much every single recorded sound, the process of making records with Seth is an absolute journey in sonic exploration."
