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.

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.
