BADBADNOTGOOD — “III”

“wait, this album is nearly a decade old now?!”


I’m not a terribly superstitious person, but I think about how my life would look if some minor events hadn’t happened basically every day. Would I have heard about BBNG if it weren’t for finding a playlist full of Chill Video Game Music that had their covers of some select tracks from Ocarina of Time on a forum I’d rather not mention? I probably would have… right?

Never mind all that, this album is gorgeous. I feel bad for not hearing it up until this point, despite hearing “Can’t Leave The Night” separate from it a lot. I’m VERY likely going to listen to IV, (and relisten to their Late Night Tales album that I strongly recommend,) in the near future as well. BBNG nails this fantastic, happy medium between relaxed fit jazz and engaging barrages of psychedelic brassy outbursts. So much fun to listen to with an unbelievably strong mood.

favorite tracks: triangle, can’t leave the night, kaleidoscope, hedron
