There’s something strangely disorientating about the music of we are the brave (real name Jess Chalker). The Australia-born, London-based artist has spent the past number of years carving out a sound that is uniquely her own; it’s simultaneously dreamy and infectious, haunting and truly irresistible.
With the release of her new single, a cover of Massive Attack’s 1998 track Teardrop, Chalker has immediately established herself as an artist that creates music on her own terms. Once you enter this sprawling, immersive soundscape, we guarantee you’ll never want to leave.
On her new cover of Massive Attack’s 1998 track Teardrop, London-based artist we are the brave presents a haunting and spell-binding slice of ethereal alt-pop brilliance.
The new track sees we are the brave glide through a hallucinatory blend of dream-pop, indie-rock, and electronica to craft a sound that is captivatingly far-reaching. With lush instrumental arrangements and sweeping vocal hooks, this new cover completely reimagines and reinvigorates a 21-year-old classic.
Across its three-and-a-half minute duration, the track builds and retracts, creating a wall of sound that will blanket your body entirely. By the time it reaches its conclusion, you’ll have been completely hypnotised by Chalker’s rich, alt-pop sounds.
The release of this new single signals the release of more new music in 2019, and judging by the quality of what we’ve heard so far, I think we can safely expect plenty more quality tunes courtesy of we are the brave.
For now, do yourself a favour and listen to the new single above.
