Badbadnotgood 'IV' (Innovative Leisure)

It’s difficult to categorise Toronto cool kids Badbadnotgood by genre, but that’s no criticism: combining hip hop, lounge music and improvisational jazz, their compositions are effortlessly innovative. Since Tyler, The Creator discovered them online in 2011 they’ve performed with Frank Ocean, worked with Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah and dropped three albums to rave reviews. On ‘IV’ they use guest singers one of their own albums for the first time, and the results are superb. Future Islands’ Samuel T Herring delivers a grainy-yet-soothing vocal on the lovesick ‘Time Moves Slow’, Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins jumps on ‘Hyssop Of Love’ and Charlotte Day Wilson adds soul to ‘In Your Eyes’.
