MWM003 || Badun - Last Night Sleep
With their 2010 album Last Night Sleep, the Danish trio Badun—comprised of Oliver Duckert, Aske Krammer, and Hjalte Møller—delivered an ambitious fusion of contemporary electronica and the experimental legacy of late-sixties psych-jazz. Moving away from the higher tempos of their earlier work, the album explores a more contemplative and expansive auditory sphere, bridging the gap between laptop-based modulation and the organic soul of improvisation.
The record is characterized by a seamless amalgamation of acoustic and digital textures, evoking the spirit of pioneers like Miles Davis and Sun Ra while remaining firmly rooted in modern sound architecture. Featuring guest contributions from guitarist Jonas Stampe and saxophonist Roger Döring (Dictaphone), the compositions weave together Rhodes pianos, fretless bass lines, and intricate glitches into a cohesive, interstellar narrative. Last Night Sleep stands as a definitive document of Badun’s ability to deconstruct genre boundaries, offering a universal sound that balances “heavy sit-down grooving” with deep, immersive soundscapes.
