Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. Toronto's Badge Époque Ensemble announce sophomore album Self Help out November 20th on Telephone Explosion Records. Recorded live in the months before lockdown, Self Help is an exploratory record that dances across time and genre, guided by fidgety miniatures and jazz-inflected collage. While constructed from the inspiration of soul, funk and film music, BÉE mediates those influences having first digested them through the productions of Madlib & the RZA. Throughout, the band pool together their instrumental chops, moving from fluid and serpentine R&B to meditative, minimalistic piano, evoking a contrast of virtuosity and self-surrender. Sing a Silent Gospel, Unity (It's up to You), Cloud, The Sound Where my Head Was, Just Space for Light, Birds Fly Through Ancient Ruins, Extinct Commune
