Badge Époque Ensemble have announced a new album, a follow-up to 2020’s Self Help. It’s titled Clouds of Joy and it’s out September 9 via Telephone Explosion. They’ve shared one song from the album, “Zodiac,” along with a video for it by Colin Medley. Check out “Zodiac” and the Clouds of Joy tracklist below.
Led by Max Turnbull, the Toronto group issued the Nature, Man & Woman EP and a self-titled project in 2019.
