The Crushed Monocle Podcast is where Jon and Coop talk about stuff. ALL the stuff! Music, movies, shows, life, or whatever. Naturally, they will mispronounce names, exhibit crippling self-awareness, and never fail to profess their love for the 1995 masterpiece, Showgirls. Regardless of the topics of discussion, Jon and Coop always recommend the music you should be listening to. This is why you must subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume fine podcasts. This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 35 – BIG BRAVE!
In the 35th episode of Crushed Monocle Podcast, Jon and Coop are joined by Robin, Tasy, and Mathieu of BIG BRAVE.
Formed in Montreal, Quebec in 2012, Big Brave is a trio specializing in experimental music both heavy and poetic. Their music has been called chaotic and violent, as well as vulnerable and beautiful. Ahead of their latest record, A Chaos Of Flowers (on Thrill Jockey), Robin, Tasy, and Mathieu hang out to talk about the making of the album, their approach to songwriting, and how they’ve reached a point in their career where they can do pretty much whatever they want in terms of production and experimentation.
In addition to these works, Jon, Coop, and Big Brave also talk about:
- Not having technical difficulties.
- Being too cool to know who Kacey Musgraves is but dorky enough to like her.
- The magic behind harnessing guitar feedback.
- Why is classic poetry in the public domain mostly made by white dudes?
- Going loud to go quiet, back to loud again.
- A top secret Big Brave album that may or may not drop by the end of the year…
Big Brave also talk about writing music from the perspective of marginalized, politicized, and exploited human beings.
