Albums

"phone.keys.wallet.", CBDB's debut album, was released in November 2012 and saw rapid success with hook heavy songs like Slow Foxes, Caroline, and How Long. They released their second album, "Joyfunk is Dead", on February 24, 2015. The facetiously-titled sophomore effort takes Joyfunk down a more progressive route while still keeping its hook and groove-oriented roots. In July 2015 CBDB spent one day in the renowned FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL. They recorded 4 tracks in a 13.5 hour session. They released "The FAME EP" on September 25, 2015.
