"The final moments of the record are Big|Brave at their most powerful: Wattie’s declarations of immunity and protection are both affirmational and confrontational, daring anybody to disagree with her (and the record’s) statement of purpose."
- Lincoln Jones, Heavy Blog is Heavy
"Considerably more downbeat than 2015’s Au De La, Ardor’s 30-minute runtime is divided across only two tracks, the weak heartbeat of Lull barely sustained by blunted guitars and minimal percussion, only to deliver the full impact of its constantly teased weight in its closing minutes.."
- Tom O'Boyle, Team Rock
Montreal's Big|Brave present Ardor, a powerfully emotional 45-minute long release which balances droning soundscapes and screeching feedback with Robin Wattie's haunting vocals for an imaginative and cathartic album.
