We Are the Brave were formed in Sydney, when singer-songwriter/producer Jess Chalker began to collaborate with hip hop producer Ox Why. The multi-instrumentalists found common ground in 70's soft rock, 80's pop, 90's sci-fi, trip hop, and contemporary alterna-pop, which inspired them to create a modern sound that re-imagined all these influences. Hailed as one of this year's most promising acts to emerge out of Australia's fertile indie scene, the duo gained international acclaim and domestic airplay with their self-produced and self-released debut EP,"Noctua", and singles "All Good Things Must Come To An End" and "Sparrow" (with its accompanying MTV Iggy and MTV Buzzworthy-championed video, directed by James Chappell).
They now release another dreamy new track, "Your Ghost", recorded, produced and mixed by We Are The Brave, with Grammy winning engineer William Bowden (the golden ears behind Gotye's "Making Mirrors"album and "Somebody That I Used to Know" single) on mastering duties. An accompanying video (also directed by James Chappell) is forthcoming, and is somewhere between Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill", Death Becomes Her, and The Crow, featuring stunning scenes shot in secret Sydney locations, as well as the Australian cotton fields. The single precedes the duo's second EP, coming later this year.
"Channeling similar-sounding acts like Florence and the Machine, Bat For
Lashes, and MS MR, the duo's songs expertly ride the line between the past
and the expansive future horizons...we wouldn't be surprised to find them
gaining a foothold right here in the U.S. very, very soon." - MTV Buzzworthy
"...all the hallmarks of a Bat For Lashes or Ladyhawke track...the sound of a mid-eighties classic" - Your Music Radar
“Jess Chalker and Nathan Cunial interweave the refreshing bluish crush
renowned of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith with a breezy contemporary
aesthetic to ensure it transcends time” – Dots and Dashes, UK
“Vibes, along with synths and a dreamy guitar, flow right in and out of this
song. It's like a dancing ray of sunshine. “ – on Sparrow (Culture Fires remix).
