Canadian trio BADBADNOTGOOD is gearing up for the release of their fourth studio album IV on July 8th. This afternoon, they released a charming track with Kaytranada called "Lavender." The song traverses several movements showcases BBNG's eclectic style and influences -- everyone from LCD Soundsystem to the Beach Boys lives on this record.
"We made 'Lavender' amongst many other songs and samples with Kaytranada in our home studio, Studio 69," BBNG told FADER. "Kay started the idea as a beat with our drum breaks and some synth melodies. Then we recut the drums and synth to formulate a song with more sections. Kay came back to Toronto and gave us that hot lead melody as well as percussion and we all finalized the arrangement. It's an incredible honour to call Kay a close friend of ours; he is a talent like no other."
IV out July 8.
