“The heaviness of their music resists falling into stoner/sludge mode, but there is huge weight attached to them that, when it hits, is a flooring experience…A Gaze Among Them has the power to crush and caress in equal measures.” – 4* RECORD COLLECTOR
“Their fourth full length is as sparse and explorative as ever, but it’s rendered this time in accessible technicolour…A Gaze Among Them remains steadfastly bold…This newfound confidence suits vocalist/guitarist Robin Wattie, her voice sounding by turns otherworldly, and toweringly defiant, BIG| BRAVE have turned sonic minimalism into a kaleidoscopic experience that becomes increasingly compulsive with each listen.” – 8/10 METAL HAMMER
“a work of shattering weight and magnificence. The fight to be objective about Big|Brave is futile; this band will touch and disturb you like no other, in ways you never thought you could be. Forget classic of its genre: A Gaze Among Them is a classic of its time.” – 9/10 GHOST CULT
“Big | Brave sound utterly unique, like they’ve passed through a secret aperture into territory as yet unexplored by others” – 4.5/5 MUSIC OMH
“A Gaze Among Them is a precious album of truly beautiful aural elation which should be enough to lift the heaviest of hearts.” – 8/10, THE 405
