Here is our new song Badu!

Badu comes out tomorrow with the video. The video features Bboy Magneto, who is a boy that our friends Ryan Flowers and Lisa Pham met one day while he was breakdancing in a courtyard in Vancouver. They kept him in mind and had always wanted to feature him in a video. When we approached Lisa and Ryan to make a video for our song, they came back with the idea to feature Magnus, and we loved it. The artful-ness of the video and the track play really well together, and we can watch the behind the scenes of Magnus practicing, and also the result of that with the closing battle scene. I’ll post the video here tomorrow and also on our YouTube and Facebook. Peace. 

Badu comes out this Friday. When thinking back about the process of making this song, it was a real turning point in the creation of our album. After our first album came out, we were forced to completely rethink how we would make our second record. We struggled through the first half of making our record, not really knowing what we wanted to say or where we wanted to take the music. It often felt forced or rushed. We were in the studio late one night, and after smoking a joint, we went back to track this song live off the floor, with the percussion and backing tracks playing behind us. The drums, guitar, bass, and rhodes were all played live as one take in a room together. It felt natural, organic, and straight from the heart. Can’t wait to share this song this Friday,

Badu. 4 Days. 

Badu. 5 Days.
