Download: BADBADNOTGOOD – BBNG2
“No one above the age of 21 was involved in the making of this album. This album was recorded in one 10 hour session. Thanks to our friends, family, loved ones and anyone who fucks with us.”
Avant-garde jazz trio BADBADNOTGOOD make their return today with the release of BBNG2, an eleven-song record composed of hip hop covers as well as original songs. This time around, the ridiculously talented Toronto group tackles the music of James Blake, Kanye West, and even Odd Future, but also contribute five new songs of original material that are even more appealing than their covers.
If you aren’t yet familiar with BADBADNOTGOOD, you can preview the entire album below through their Bandcamp. Once you’re satisfied, you can head over to their website for a free download of the album in multiple file formats.

James Blake Announces ‘Enough Thunder’
Since unleashing his epic collaboration with Bon Iver‘s Justin Vernon on the world,James Blake has stirred quite a bit of discussion about something new called Enough Thunder, which was included in the Youtube description for “Fall Creek Boys Choir”. Now we know that it is the name of Blake’s forthcoming EP, which will be released on October 10 via Atlas Records, the same independent label that released his critically-acclaimed self-titled debut this past February.
The six-track EP will include “Fall Creek Boys Choir”, a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You”, and four new songs.
If you haven’t heard it already, you can listen to “Fall Creek Boys Choir” after the break. You can also grab it on iTunes here.
Jamie xx’s BBC Essential Mix
There’s no denying that The xx‘s Jamie xx is an extremely talented solo producer. After producing The xx’s self-titled debut, the Mercury Prize Winner went on to remix the late Gil-Scott Heron on We’re New Here and then released a new single entitled “Far Nearer”. A few days ago, Jamie took over the DJ booth and spun a two-hour mix for the BBC Essential Mix series. You can listen to entire mix in full below, courtesy of Young Turks. There are some great songs included from such artists as Orbital, Wiley, James Blake, and ends with Jamie’s own mix of Radiohead‘s “Bloom”.
Full tracklisting for Jamie’s mix is available after the break.
Listen: James Blake & Bon Iver – “Fall Creek Boys Choir”
James Blake and Bon Iver‘s first and widely anticipated collaborative track, “Fall Creek Boys Choir”, was just released by Blake on his Youtube page. Featuring production by Blake and vocals from Vernon, “Fall Creek Boys Choir” is a pretty minimalistic effort. Vernon’s signature auto-tuned falsetto meshes pretty well with the simple, thumping bassline throughout the song. My only complaint? Blake seems to be incorporating a random dog bark in the beat, which seems to disturb the flow of the song rather than help it. Give the track a listen below.
The track will be available for purchase on iTunes next week on August 29, 2011 and according to the Youtube page, “Enough Thunder – Oct 2011”. Could it be another new song or a full-fledged EP or album? No word yet, but any further efforts by these two should be of extremely high quality.
James Blake and Bon Iver Collaboration on August 24
Now that Kanye West and Jay-Z have teamed up and released Watch The Throne, it seems like more superstar collaborations are in our future. Indie kings James Blakeand Bon Iver, who both released critically-acclaimed albums this year, have teamed up and will be releasing, well, something. Taking to his Twitter account, Blake posted the following cryptic message: “24th August 2011 – James Blake & Bon Iver ‘Fall Creek Boys Choir'”. Justin Vernon owns a studio in Fall Creek, Wisconsin and the two both have incredible singing voices. As for what this project will be? No real details have been revealed.

Listen: James Blake – “Give A Man A Rod (Alternate)”
British artist/producer James Blake has been considered by many to be one of the leaders of the dubstep and post-dubstep musical movements.

The new song will be featured on Hessle Audo’s new label compilation 116 & Rising, out on May 16. You can purchase the compilationhere.
