Craig Badynee premieres new single “I’ve Been In Trouble Before”
Chicago-based singer and songwriter Craig Benedict Valentine Badynee has built a career spanning decades, marked by an enduring immersion in diverse musical practices.
His journey into music began long before the mainstream spotlight, with his teenage years dedicated to radical audio experimentation and working with found sounds. This early exploration laid the groundwork for a unique, unconventional perspective on sound.
As the decades unfolded, Badynee continued to evolve his sonic palette. In the 1990s, he took a distinct turn, channeling exploratory sonics through his collaboration with the Detroit space rock outfit, Asha Vida.
The transition continued into the 2000s, where he pivoted toward brighter, more accessible sounds, embracing jangly indie pop arrangements that defined his later work.
This shift saw him release a string of EPs, culminating in a highly anticipated, long-delayed full-length album with the band PAS/CAL. Craig Badynee’s musical trajectory is a fascinating study in sustained artistic evolution, demonstrating a commitment to sonic discovery across multiple genres.
