Bitchin Bajas

Speakeasy and Commune present: Bitchin’ Bajas at Warhorse.

The next album from Bitchin Bajas — the trio of Cooper Crain, Rob Frye and Daniel Quinlivan — is near! The successor to 2022’s Bajascillators glides easily into frame, but once there, Inland See is deceptively immediate: four songs, entirely within themselves, all together forming an essential whole. Inland Seeis outSeptember 26. The lead single "Skylarking" is out now with a new visualizer featuring visuals by Nick Ciontea.

With every successive Bitchin Bajas release, we see that the real key for them is a sense of discovery, that tingle that comes when you feel something breaking through. The sky opening up. Take "Skylarking": a remarkable construction, built to and fro in the ether, but with a deceptive grasp of four-on-the-floor rhythm. It showcases jewels from their world music and jazz archives, then returns to their undulous source drone, riding smoothly back into silence. The stuff that fills this Inland See holds you up powerfully, as if you’re floating, saltwater or helium-wise — effervescent, effortless, elemental.
