Last year, BIG|BRAVE released A Chaos Of Flowers, which found inspiration in poet Emily Dickinson. Today, they've announced its follow-up OST, and it's a score for a film that doesn't exist.
“Although this record could stand on its own, we envisioned it being paired with moving images, which introduced a fresh and exciting way of working,” guitarist Mathieu Ball says. During the process, Ball used piano strings to create a new instrument.
“The strings Mathieu used for his instrument came from a discarded piano thatch that had been laying around in the hallway of my tattoo studio for ages," guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie explains. "It took a lot of work to get the strings off but then he made the instrument in only a few days. It blew my mind.”
Along with the usual band lineup of Ball, Wattie, and drummer/percussionist Tasy Hudson, the LP also features Seth Manchester and MJ Guider's Melissa Guion. The lead single "innominate Nº ii" is a sprawling meditation, unfurling with unease. Listen below.
