The Comet Is Coming - Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam

The trio pushes their sound's electronic elements and futuristic vibes further to mostly great results.

BADBADNOTGOOD - Talk Memory

Talk Memory seems like the start of an exciting new chapter for BBNG.

Yazz Ahmed - Polyhymnia

Polyhymnia is one of the year's most versatile and dynamic jazz albums.

The Comet Is Coming - Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery

The Comet Is Coming is doing its part to bring jazz into the next decade.

Kamasi Washington - Heaven and Earth

By adhering so much to its grand formula, Heaven and Earth comes off as even more cumbersome than The Epic.

Kamasi Washington - "Desire"

Last week, saxophonist extraordinaire Kamasi Washington released a 6-track EP titled Harmony of Difference. The opening composition, which you can hear above, has the ambition and energy I've loved about the man's past work (especially The Epic), but it's offered in a more bite-sized serving than usual.

Denzel Curry - "Ultimate" (BBNG Sessions)

Denzel Curry and BADBADNOTGOOD each embark upon one of their most ambitious musical undertakings by reinventing banger-of-the-decade contender "Ultimate" with live instrumentation. I'm more surprised by the trippy video than I am the fact they pull it off. Feels like I dropped acid...or edited a thatistheplan video.

Denzel and BBNG also produced a live version of Imperial cut "Sick & Tired" during this session, which you can check out here.

Thundercat - Drunk

Though Drunk brings a heaping helping of Thundercat's spectacular bass playing and sense of humor, the album is also rife with filler and underwritten jazz motifs.
