IV is the new EP by Bravestation, brothers Devin (vocals, keyboards) and Derek Wilson (guitar, keyboards) alongside childhood friend Jeremy Rossetti (drums, percussion). Together, they began making music in the City of the 1000 Islands several years before moving to Toronto in 2008 and adopting the moniker Bravestation. The name is derived from the titles of Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World and Robert J. Hasting’s inspirational essay, The Station. Like their previous releases, IV draws upon themes written in these evocative literary works through lyrics that shape fantasy and reality into a speculative fiction over top of colourful and winding song structures. "We use emotional experiences from real life and try to recreate them in another world" says Devin. While ethereal vocals, spaced-out guitars, intricate percussion and peculiar synths have always been characteristics of the group's sonic identity; these four tracks are decidedly more electronic and beat-oriented than their predecessors.
IV continues the band’s audible metamorphosis, mixing elements of R&B, New Wave and Electronic music into an atmospheric pop landscape. The noticeable shift in style is influenced by the unfamiliar environment it was created in.
