Badun - Last Night Sleep

Now after the release of the fantastic “Tandoori Tentacle EP” the second album of “Badun” called “Last Night Sleep” is out now.
All I can say is I am speechless –  Badun put it over the top.
Badun is grown up – and please don’t get me wrong, they always been high-class serious musicians – but with “Last Night Sleep” they put their music to another stage.
“Last Night Sleep” is a dreamy album with crystal clear structures at the same time. Flavoured with Indian instruments the merged click and cut with jazzy electronica. Sounds like a strange brew, but don’t be misled; Badun found a new sound and defined them new. A laid-back sound that disperses wonderful soundclouds meets rich and genius arranged jazz electronica. But when I write these words I ask myself if jazz electronica is the right description. When I say jazz I mean the structures of the orchestration and the way the created tricky beat-structures. The atmosphere of this album is a deep journey into a new sound and a soulful atmosphere.
The music of  “Last Night Sleep” is like remembering a dream you had last night; you remember some structures something is hidden behind the curtain of the deep and dark night. But even the dream was a fiery one you have a smile on your face.
This is the way it happens a million times each night on earth, simple to describe not easily to understand. And this is the way this extraordinary music functions. You search for a name to describe what you hear – but you can’t find a name – but one thing is clear to you’ve been fallen in love with a dream you had last night. Perfect ten!

Jackson Pollocktronia

Man kan godt glemme, at man lytter til Badun. Men det skal nu ikke lægges den danske trio til last. For det vidner bare om, hvor ulastelige deres raffinementer er, hvordan de trods deres kompleksitet smyger sig om kroppen på en måde, som jeg forestiller mig, at haute couture også gør det.

Samtidig får man også fornemmelsen af en nærmest fysisk ekspressiv programmering, hvor beats og blops og bips falder som malerskvæt over et Jackson Pollock-lærred. Og Fender Rhodes-orgel, båndløs bas, tablas og trommer spiller med elektronikken, finsnittes i den, opløses i den, ja, flyder sammen i en tyk mangefarvet væske, hvor lydstimernes lysmillion flimrer for ørerne. Hvert af de syv numre på deres andet album har sin egen elektrisk jazzede, cool glitchede personlighed. Hvis man har overskud til at fokusere, så er der både fornemme helheder og talløse flygtige detaljer, at give sig hen til. -rach

Free flowing through dreamy landscapes of sound 

When tuning your ear to Badun’s contemporary pitch on this album, you’re likely to hear reminiscences from late sixties and early seventies psych jazz and sinister impro-funk experiments. On one hand, as you listen to tracks like Plastic Jungle and Slow City there’s a clear sense of unbounded groove and cosmic feel, congenial with the music of the cool-headed masters of the past – this album definitely holds the inspirational echoes of spirits such as Miles, Zawinul and Sun Ra. On the other hand, when inviting the listener to set off on both interstellar and internal mind trips, Badun manage to fuse the reverb of spacey music history with their own present day reality of laptop-based modulation, digital glitches and multilayered sound architecture.

Since 2003, Badun has been exploring the intriguing territories of electronica, jazz and improvisation. Focusing on the energy of live performances while probing the secrets of home grown sound recording, the band has continuously changed its expression and artistic approaches. Now, well consolidated as a trio, Oliver Duckert, Aske Krammer, and Hjalte Møller, Badun release their most ambitious album yet. Not only does Last Night Sleep present itself as a coherent piece of work, where the tracks are subtly connected and add up to a solid whole. The album also points to Badun moving in another, more contemplative direction. Compared to their 2007 debut, the tempo has been slowed down significantly together with a radical expanding of the listening space. In this way, the trio has opened a deeper and wider auditory sphere which is still held together by a distinct sound that has Badun written all over it.

In addition to the organically flowing syncopations and harmonic ideas that spring from the trio itself, the album has contributions from among others multi-instrumentalist and guitar wiz Jonas Stampe. As well, on Juuhm and The Man with the Fine Hair, you’ll notice the percussive textures being contrasted by low key saxophone intonations of reed player Roger Döring. Inviting and integrating the sounds of fellow musicians is however not Badun’s biggest accomplishment. Even more importantly, they overcome the tricky divide between acoustic, electronic and digitally rendered elements. Far from being superficial, this results in a seamless amalgamation of new and old, of micro circuits and classic instrumental resonances - from the timbre of Rhodes piano and crispy synths to complex, yet earthy rhythm structures and fretless bass lines. This is a universal kind of music that calls for both relaxation and heavy sit down-grooving. And no matter how and when you listen to it, please don’t waste your time trying to find a fitting label – instead loosen up your inner aural system and let it all come through.

Badun "Tandoori Tentacle" EP 

There are a lot of great things that have emerged from Denmark, Badun are no exception.
Appearing with Cactus Island & MXM for the first time Badun continue to create a complex soundtrack and join Cactus Island on a joint venture into the alternate world of the Tandoori Tentacle with a joint release both on 12" vinyl and FLAC and MP3 formats.

Badun is made up of 3 band members from Denmark, each with a statement to make, each an integral part within the band. Between them they create a futuristic, complex sequence of musical events.

Tandoori Tentacle is made up of four songs, each of unparalleled content and these move openly and are composed of freeform fusion-jazz influences, electronical surroundings and automated rearrangements.
Comparisons to Tandoori Tentacle will surely be made with their last, self-titled album 'Badun' 
a highly acclaimed and respected work of art that had an immense impact on the scene when it dropped in 2007.
There is a more weighted fluctuation on display here, almost Schaffel-like approaches towards the music with quivering frequencies of vibrations and micro-percussion.

Baduns' surroundings are tightly wrapped - musically in the 1970's - but they also have improvised
visualisations of what the future holds. Tandoori Tentacle makes an expression of being in control.
An evolution into the future-past of performed forward-thinking music.

Aske Krammer, Oliver Duckert & Hjalte Møller are an undeniable trio of talent and have invented a unique sound of their own, something to be proud of in todays mixed-up worlds and confusing musical crossovers.

Artwork is created by Mads Westrup, an acomplished artist and designer and Baduns' artistic associate.
Tandoori Tentacle is available on 12" vinyl and FLAC/mp3 formats; release date 01/05/2009

Badun: Badun (Rump Recordings/VME)

Flimrende i sin subtile ynde. Fremelsket mellem hænder og harddisk på tre herrer, der betvinger tangenter, strenge, tromme-skind og blæsere - som manes til sitrende liv eller divideres i computerens mulighedsmillion for at genopstå som bittesmå udsagn uden genkendelig relation til kilderne. Men ikke med mindre musikalsk betydning. En moderne trio, som sætter 220 volts spørgsmålstegn til jazzen, som Miles Davis også gjorde i overgangen til 70'erne, og som Tortoise, Burnt Friedmann og Flanger gør det i dag. Og et mikrodynamisk album, hvor der ingen klar overgang er mellem det håndspillede og det finger-programmerede. En fornemt abstrakt, elektronisk og jazzet debut.
