Today sees the release of Isle Peaks, the new EP from Chicago trio Bitchin Bajas, featuring Cooper Crain, Rob Frye and Dan Quinlivan. Orginally released as a Qobuz exclusive, the EP is now available on 12″ vinyl, cassette and digital.
To mark the release, watch their live video for “Ajami”, filmed at their Los Angeles show at Lodge Room back in February on miniDV tape by Shambling History. The visuals are courtesy of longtime Bajas compatriot Nick Ciontea who is also responsible for the latest Geologist video we shared yesterday.
Bajas have also announced a new show at Chicago’s smartbar, adding to an already packed autumn of both US and EU/UK dates.
