 PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE TOUR AND LISTEN TO AU DE LA IN ITS ENTIRETY

 

  About the album…presenting forty-five minutes of exploratory, post/avant rock, Au De La sees vocalist/guitarist Robin Wattie, guitarist Mathieu Bernard Ball and drummer Louis-Alexandre Beauregard creating a layered, engaging, memorable, and visceral album. With five expansive movements which transmit BIG|BRAVE‘s imaginative sounds with exceptional production values, Au De La was recorded at Hotel2Tango with Efrim Menuck (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra) and mastered by Harris Newman at Grey Market (Front Line Assembly, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, C H R I S T), several of its tracks also including striking veils of violin by Jessica Moss (Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra).

 

  Au De La  is available now on digital, CD, and on LP with both black and clear pressings. Order the physical versions  via Southern Lord  and the digital  via bandcamp .
