Big|Brave share new song “the fable of subjugation,” announce tour with Liturgy

Big|Brave has shared a new song from their upcoming album, nature morte, which is due out February 24 via Thrill Jockey. Their latest, “the fable of subjugation,” is a lengthy track that begins with looser drones and rises up into a more climactic, intense burst of sound. Hear it below. The band have also announced North American tour dates with Liturgy. Check out those dates below.

Big|Brave’s Robin Wattie said in a press release: “Lyrically, this was inspired by working on Leaving None But Small Birds with The Body. I kept the concept of nature morte while using the style of folk storytelling to help convey how much has not changed in the time of ‘man’ when it comes to men’s subconscious need or unprovoked desire or that ageless race to conquer and control any one thing and all things that may be of use and/or beneficial and/or prized or merely even kind of wanted etc., especially if one can accrue monetary wealth specifically at the detriment of the other.”

Big|Brave’s last album was 2021’s Vital.
