massive minimalism | alternative feedback rock | post-metal | drone pop

BIG|BRAVE from Montreal, Canada. Their music has been described as massive minimalism. Their fusillades of textural distortion and feedback emphasize their music’s frayed edges as much as its all-encompassing weight. The potency of the trio’s work is their singular artistry combining elements of traditional folk techniques and a modern deconstruction of guitar music. Gain, feedback, and amplitude are essential to A Chaos Of Flowers, an album that builds on their ferocious 2023 album nature morte.

Under the name MJ Guider, New Orleans-based Melissa Guion constructs spacious, meditative dream pop songs using ticking drum machines, a bass guitar, and mountains of echo and other effects.
