BADBADNOTGOOD Embraces Methodical Madness On Their New EP, ‘Mid Spiral: Chaos’

Canadian alt-jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD has been dropping a relatively steady stream of collaborative EPs over the past year, releasing sets with collaborators both unusual (hardcore band Turnstile) and apropos (soul crooner Baby Rose). Today, they added to this growing collection with a more self-contained EP release, Mid Spiral: Chaos, which hearkens back to some of the band’s more improvisational, jazzy material.

“If this music makes your ears we thank you very much,” the band shared via Twitter (which will never be called by “X” under this particular byline). “We have new friends playing over the whole record with us and this is an exciting and fun chapter. Peace!” Those friends, according to a separate tweet, include Felix Fox-Pappas, Kaelin Murphy, Juan Carlos Medrano, and Tyler Lott.

Mid Spiral: Chaos arrives in a busy year for the band. Not only did they release their EP Slow Burn with Baby Rose just a month ago on April 12, but they have also played Coachella and recently been announced as one of the performers on Aminé’s brand-new Portland festival, The Best Day Ever. All this is coming off a year in which they opened for Daniel Caesar on tour.

You can listen to Mid Spiral: Chaos below.

Over the years, more and more artists have jumped into the music festival game. This week, Aminé joins the likes of Chance The Rapper, Tyler The Creator and J. Cole with The Best Day Ever Festival, coming to his hometown, Portland, Oregon’s Edgefield Lawn on August 10 and 11. Aminé made the announcement in his usual, quirky way, employing a helicopter to announce the lineup in a colorful trailer, which you can watch below.

Naturally, Aminé himself will headline alongside his Kaytraminé collaborator Kaytranada, with a lineup rounded out by avant-garde jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD, breakout Atlanta rap star Karrahbooo, Aminé’s tour DJ MadisonLST, R&B singer Ravyn Lenae, chillwave pioneer Toro y Moi, and Portland rapper 3WayHeff.

Tickets for the festival go on sale beginning on Friday, May 17, at 10 AM PT, at thebestdayeverfest.com.

Although Aminé hasn’t put out a new album since 2020’s Limbo, Aminé fans haven’t gone too long without something exciting from the “Caroline” rapper. In 2021, he dropped TwoPointFive, the follow-up to his 2018 mixtape OnePointFive, holding fans over until last year, when he teamed up with Kaytranada to release Kaytraminé. Although Aminé hasn’t announced a new album for 2024, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see him do so before his performance at The Best Day Ever Festival.

Baby Rose Unveils Highly Anticipated Project ‘Slow Burn’ Produced by BADBADNOTGOOD

Baby Rose Unveils Highly Anticipated Project 'Slow Burn' Produced by BADBADNOTGOOD

Today marks the release of Baby Rose’s eagerly awaited project, Slow Burn, produced by the acclaimed BADBADNOTGOOD and presented via Secretly Canadian. This collaboration echoes historic partnerships that have shaped the music landscape, akin to the legendary collaboration between Aretha Franklin and Muscle Shoals, which profoundly influenced Rose’s musical journey.

Slow Burn showcases Rose’s remarkable range and charisma, solidifying her position as a significant figure in music and potentially a legacy artist. With influences spanning psych rock, country, Americana, and more, the project encapsulates sounds rooted in the Black community, reflecting Rose’s natural evolution within the sonic realm of alternative music.

“‘Slow Burn’ is our eclectic chemistry and the captured essence of our worlds colliding,” said Baby Rose. “Recording on tape with the band was a first, I felt like we were channeling Muscle Shoals’ rawness. It’s a reflection of past loves and losses, reminiscent of long drives down rural 95 from DC to NC as a child. This record represents venturing beyond boundaries, embracing freedom, and finding comfort. Enjoy the journey.”

This striking body of work emerges from a period of profound self-realization and personal growth for Rose. It embodies her signature vulnerability while marking her release and liberation. Slow Burn establishes Rose as a significant force in music and highlights her unique voice and artistic vision, setting the stage for a promising future in the industry.
