BadBadNotGood - Talk Memory (Vinyl 2LP)
Double LP • Lacquer Cut at Masterdisk • Locked Groove Side A
‘Signal From The Noise’ opens the record with nine minutes of heavy, building psychedelic jazz. ‘Unfolding (Momentum 73)’ pulls right back, the shimmer of an electric zither hanging over a slow groove. Side A doesn’t end. It locks into a groove and keeps turning. Strings arrive on ‘City Of Mirrors’, lush and patient. ‘Beside April’ sets them against loose, rolling percussion. ‘Talk Meaning’ closes with harp, alto sax and a full string section all moving at once.

About the album.
Talk Memory is the 2021 jazz album from BADBADNOTGOOD, the Toronto band’s first record for XL Recordings and their first album in five years since IV, released on 8 October 2021 alongside Innovative Leisure.
Best known for collaborations across hip hop, from Ghostface Killah to Tyler, The Creator, the band returned here to a largely instrumental record built from improvised studio performances. It is their first album as a trio following the departure of founding keyboardist Matthew Tavares in 2019, with Alexander Sowinski on drums, Chester Hansen on bass and keys, and Leland Whitty on guitar and woodwinds.
The guest list carries real weight. Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai wrote the string arrangements, Laraaji plays electric zither on ‘Unfolding (Momentum 73)’, Karriem Riggins adds percussion, and Terrace Martin and Brandee Younger join on alto saxophone and harp for the closing ‘Talk Meaning’. Floating Points added production to ‘Signal From The Noise’, and Russell Elevado mixed the album.
This double LP edition on XL Recordings was cut at Masterdisk, and Side A finishes in a locked groove, so the final moments keep circling until the needle is lifted.
Listeners coming from IV will find the vocal features of that record traded for instrumental collaborators. The band followed Talk Memory in 2024 with Mid Spiral, first released digitally in three parts, Chaos, Order and Growth, before being collected on a double LP, and the two records sit side by side naturally.
