BADBADNOTGOOD's biggest release now on white vinyl for the first time.
BADBADBADNOTGOOD is the talented young quartet of Matthew Tavares on keys, Chester
Hansen on bass, Alex Sowinski on drums & Leland Whitty on saxophone. They formed and
became inseparable friends at Humber College’s Music Performance program in 2011 and
have been on a critically acclaimed, rule bending musical journey ever since. BBNG took the
music world by storm with their 2014 LP, III, a brash yet refined record of angular jazz
improvisations, lush ballads, kraut rock, & futuristic hip-hop tinged rhythms which led to a
couple years of touring the world & collaborating with some of the best and brightest artists
around the globe. The boys are back with the new album IV, their most impressive and highly
anticipated project yet. IV continues their forward thinking progression, sounding something
like a jam session in space between Can, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters,
Weather Report, Arthur Russell & MF DOOM. With tracks like 'Time Moves Slow' featuring
haunting vocals from Sam Herring of Future Islands, the syncopated groove of 'Lavender,' a
collaboration with Montreal based producer Kaytranada, the rumbling fusion build of
'Confessions Pt. II' featuring Colin Stetson on the bass sax, 'Love' which is highlighted with
smokey left field raps from Mick Jenkins & the epic chords of 'Speaking Gently,' IV is an
exploration in post-genre virtuosity. The band continues to put out new music and tour.
