The Body and Big Brave - Leaving None But Small Birds
LP
2021 collaboration between The Body and Big Brave. After the former's I've Seen All I Need to See and the latter's Vital from earlier this year, the two heavy experimental bands are teaming up for Leaving None But Small Birds. The two bands sought to create an album outside their respective stylistic realms, specifically taking influence from country and folk music.
The Body and BIG|BRAVE are both bands possessed with an unequaled ability to convey overwhelming weight with simplicity, repetition, and detailed sonic atmospheres; artists who continue to alter the definition of what it means to be a heavy band. The Body are consistently prolific while increasingly ambitious as untethered producers and collaborators. BIG|BRAVE shape sound with dense waves of guitar and feedback, minimalist and hypnotic crashes, and emotionally exacting vocal melodies. In collaboration, The Body and BIG|BRAVE shift the gravity of their compositions to woven layers of percussion and unspooling guitars that sprawl through stark frameworks of earthy folk. Their debut collaborative album Leaving None But Small Birds distills the two ensembles’ pioneering approach to heavy music into psalms for the forgotten, threnodies of lost love, and odes to vengeance.
