Review

Badbadnotgood's "IV," dropped on July 8, 2016, is a thrilling evolution for the band. Embracing their jazziest sound to date, the album marks a pivotal change with Leland Whitty officially joining the ranks. The presence of guest artists like Sam Herring, Kaytranada, Colin Stetson, Mick Jenkins, and Charlotte Day Wilson injects a fresh energy and a rich variety into the mix.

Kicking off with the dynamism of the title track "IV," we're treated to frenetic saxophones from Whitty paired with Matthew Tavares' hyperactive Rhodes piano, creating an opulent vibe. Highlights include "Time Moves Slow," where Sam Herring’s haunting vocals blend effortlessly, and "Cashmere," graced by Charlotte Day Wilson’s soulful delivery. While tracks like "Confessions Pt. II" may veer into indulgent territory, the album balances technical skill with thoughtful composition, proving Badbadnotgood's unique command over jazz, hip-hop, and lounge music. - Owen
