Not only have Toronto outfit Badge Époque Ensemble released one of the year’s funkiest albums, their new 12″ on Telephone Explosion includes an amazing 14-minute floor filler that is out of this world. Very reminiscent of recent work from Mildlife (“Phase II” in particular), this track is full of congas, flute and wah-wah. “Badge Theme” is the first song to be shared from Nature, Man and Woman, which is out in early December. I can’t wait to hear the two tracks on the top side.
