The Hearn Generating Station is an abandoned, coal-fired power plant whose crumbling, majestic beauty was recently on display for Toronto's Luminato Festival. The partially gutted building is larger than the Coliseum in Rome and New York's Lincoln Center.The cavernous space is a tangled mess of twisted rebar, rusty steel girders and cracked concrete. Buildings don't always elicit emotional responses, but stepping into the ruins of the Hearn is like stepping into a magical world: the immense size and soaring structure illuminate the possible.
What kind of band does one record in a space like this?A band that knows how to set a mood; a band that is more interested in wandering than arriving; a band whose musical explorations have transcended the boundaries between hip-hop, jazzand pop.
BadBadNotGood's expansive new album,IV, was released on July 8. CBC Musicfound out about the band's new album around the same time we heard we could record in the Hearn. The match seemed almost too perfect, but thankfully the one night we could access the Hearn was also the one night that BBNG had available between its U.S. and European tours.
We couldn't enter the Hearn until after the Luminato festivities wrapped up for the day, so we arrived at 11 p.m. and worked until 4 a.m.. After the frenzy of running cables and lugging lights into position, BBNG took over and began the sacred ritual. The soulful singer Charlotte Day Wilson sings on "In Your Eyes" to start the session, and then the band continues with four more new songs. Leland Whitty is now a permanent band member on sax, joining Chester Hansen, Matt Tavares and Alex Sowinski.
Special thanks goes to the entire staff of the Luminato Festival, who worked hard and stayed late to make this shoot possible.

The drums in this song are killer

[@jalensleet5949]

Listening to this while driving around winding mountain roads in the Himalayas stoned... doesn't get better

[@cbcmusic]

Yaas! On a bus or private car? Love those crazy roads but must be hard to block out the horns of passing busses, no?

[@AAAHHAHHHAHAH]

Don't drive when your high bro, your putting yourself and others at risk.

[@jalensleet5949]

A mix of both, but usually private cars. So true!! Luckily at the time I had noise cancelling headphones haha

[@jalensleet5949]

I was always the passenger :)

[@retrofilth1414]

Cringe

[@sophiaseptember3833]

[@sophiaseptember3833]

oooh ouch ooo my fingers

[@WarmthoftheSun]

Playing this at .75 and even half speed is mesmerizing to me :’0

[@Desnes7]

Yes. Yes you're correct.

[@kr9527]

We need a slowed and reverb version

[@774471jr]

That sounds horrible lol

[@foxgaming2777]

Ngl, that’s probably about the speed of the album version

[@RedMissou]

@@foxgaming2777you lying

[@beatpirate8]

[@veonnisual]

this song is actually off Kaytranada's new album, not BBNG's!

[@shitpostheavy]

I feel like it should be in this album though

[@ajahnke688]

I was about to say I definitely don't remember this on IV, going to check out Kaytranada's new album tho this is awesome.

[@diegopatriciosm]

its really good tho, kay´s 99.9%

[@cobeyspeyer163]

whats the song called on kays new album?

[@rafaelaugusto3655]

they are producers of this track

[@terrygriggs7120]

I hunted down this tune after watching another UA-cam clip: “Hunting down Scottish slabs with Pete Devries and Noah Cohen”. If you surf, you’ll understand what I mean. Sublime.

[@gabsvikinga5687]

Orgasmos musicales!!!

[@liamsutherland6903]

it might sound dumb but what's the name of the drummer he's sooooo good

[@cbcmusic]

That's Alexander Sowinski. He's got skills, that guy.

[@AlexCarbajal321]

[@cbcmusic]

Yes! Such a good band - not sure why they don't get more publicity...

[@user-iu4rf1fz7i]

Where to find this documentary?

[@walterjohnson982]

tune I like to play driving to the beach to watch the sunset over the Pacific back in So. Cal

[@cbcmusic]

So cool!

[@XanderElion]

I’m not sure if it’s this version or the Kaytranada version but this feels like a song that I may have heard on Breaking Bad during a time lapse cooking scene or something. It has that sound

[@impatrice9030]

There's a bbng song in better call Saul??

[@kamronakukoro4575]

That’s exactly what it is

[@evancunningham9872]

My mans with the sick maracas

[@alain9487]

Woooooooow❤

[@kamibaylee]

So this was supposed to be on IV (it's not- unless it has a different name?) but ended up on 99.99% (2016 album by KAYTRANADA) Interesting... I found the KAYTRANADA/BBNG version first so I think I prefer it but it's so cool hearing the differences!

[@ssamu42]

Woooow thats awesome! Nice performance of Kaytranada's song!

[@az_gabriel]

Am I the only one who thinks this song fits perfectly on Bully (PS2 game)? Lmao

[@homerco213]

This is basically better than every other song.

[@AQUISCES19]

❤

[@cristobalmannsrosselot]

The name of Synthesizer sound ?

[@neilloychakravarty6737]

Roland Juno 108 sound of the 80s.

[@jamesadamscherub100]

[@plets1172]

BASS TABS?

[@Xande420]

Here you are, kid, 3 years later, only because I'm in a patient mood.

[@FluxJosh]

Pissed off that you can't see the drummer at the best part of the song

[@ThePaperGangsta64]

On the kaytranada album this song sounds identical to nangs by tame impala

[@Famous0uncez]

I love both this song and Nangs but wtf they sound nothing alike

[@jesuscoronado642]

Famous0uncez true

[@josennyluna6367]

Omg I was thinking the same thing

[@josennyluna6367]

If you crossfade them is sounds amazing

[@carlosluna1164]
