About this product

The work of BIG BRAVE is ever-expanding. The trio's singular masterful sculpting of sonics into songcraft tucks layers of vulnerability into frenetic storms. In grief or in hope is an innovative vision of electro-acoustic sound and emotive storytelling, an endless bounty of overwhelming distortions and devastating beauty. In grief or in hope marks a shift for BIG BRAVE towards denser guitar-oriented compositions. With longtime touring bassist Liam Andrews (MY DISCO, Aicher) joining guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie and guitarist Mathieu Ball in the studio for the first time, the pieces are keenly layered with a rich tapestry of harmonics and tonal intricacies. The trio's instinctual progressions made more vivid through live recording, harnessing the gargantuan and storied sound of their performances. Wattie writes Inch All that I could reflect on was grief and hope; death and life; cause and effect; shared experiences of being a human person.InchThe tenth album for the ensemble, in grief or in hope pays homage to their past while looking into their future. Standout Inchthe ineptitude for mutual discernmentInch expands on lyrical themes first explored on 2015's Au de la where InchverdureInch echoes melodies from the title track of 2014's Feral Verdure. These references to their past serve as potent reflections on BIG BRAVE's evolution as artists. A sonic whirlpool of string instruments surround Wattie's commanding vocals as she shifts from spectral undulations on pieces like Inchwhat may be the kindest way to leaveInch to the direct, spare declarations of the title track.

Winhill/Losehill - The Grief   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Grief is the third album by Swedish pop-group Winhill/Losehill 12 vigorous and heartfelt songs charged with black-edged lyrics and melodies that seem torn from the fabric of the sky. After a seven year hiatus since the sextets symphonic Trouble Will Snowball, the songwriting duo Jonas Svennem (composer, singer, producer) and Carl Åkerlund (lyrics) has written a spirited set of songs sure of their aim, dealing with dreams, regrets and getting through life and it's setbacks without wanting to give up. With richly layered arrangements, electrifying instrumental performances and rousing rhythm sections, The Grief is suffused with a spacious lustre of sounds that brings to mind Bon Iver, Arcade Fire or Rufus Wainwright, and organic acoustics reminiscent of The Band and Nina Simone. Mixed by Måns Lundberg (Ariel Pink, Shout Out Louds, Amason) and featuring Ji Nilsson (Pure Shores) on backing vocals, as well as in a heated duet.1. The Grief Pt. 12. Human River3. Foreclosure Day4.
