CBVB Shares Video for Two Good Ears
I’ve clearly been obsessing with the work of CBVB, or Craig Benedict Valentine Badynee over the last few months, and today, he’s given us permission to fawn even more with a lyric video to accompany the B-Side track, “Two Good Ears.” As is always the case with CBVB work, the inspiration comes from many corners; you can hear obscure jazz influences from the 70s to disco Iggy Pop nods…and all with the influence of Craig reflecting upon consoling his daughter in regards to an unfaithful partner whilst realizing he, too, had committed similar acts.

On the personal tip, I was really pulling for the Manners Manners and Nightshift to be big hits out there in the scene, with this new Parallel tune right behind it! There’s also some expansive jams too from the likes of Immersion and Nap Eyes, if you need a tune over 5 minutes for your life. Enjoy.
