Chicago trio Bitchin Bajas, featuring Cooper Crain, Rob Frye and Dan Quinlivan, share a live video for “Ajami”, filmed at their Los Angeles Lodge Room show on miniDV tape by Shambling History. The track is from their new EP Isle Peaks, out today on Drag City. They’ve also announced a new show at Chicago’s smartbar, adding to an already packed autumn of both US and EU/UK dates.

Bitchin Bajas give their “Isle Peaks” EP a wide release on August 28th via Drag City, after an initial Qobuz-exclusive run. Vinyl and cassette add the physical-only track “Watch Your Step”. The three cuts, pulled from the “Inland See” sessions and recorded to analogue tape, move between krautrock and new age. New US and European tour dates are also announced.

Taken from their new album, Inland See (out on September 26, 2025, via Drag City), Bitchin Bajas have shared a live video for “Skylarking.” Their new album was a live endeavour, written on the road and tracked with barely any overdubs — so it’s only natural that this 8-minute live video of “Skylarking,” directed and edited by Michael Gaertner, looks and sounds like Bajas on full blast.

Electronic trio Bitchin Bajas announce their new album, Inland See, arriving September 26th on Drag City. Mostly written on the road and recorded live at Electrical Audio, the album captures the band’s raw, spacious sound. Watch the visualiser for their lead single, “Skylarking”. The band will support the release with an extensive North American tour, including dates with Stereolab.

When Bitchin Bajas and Natural Information Society get together, a singular kind of magic emerges that epitomises the creative spirit of the Chicago scene but is nevertheless unique. ‘Totality’ is the fullest possible rendering of that magic and an essential piece of work.

Ten years on, Natural Information Society and Bitchin Bajas reunite for their second collaborative album, ‘Totality’. Their first single, Clock no Clock, is accompanied by a music video created by Nick Contea.

The Bitchin Bajas are back with ‘Bajascillators’, their first official album in nearly five years. Watch Kyle Armstrong’s accompanying video for their album single ‘Amorpha’ which is also our Song of the Day.

An interesting addition to the oeuvres of both Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and the Bitchin Bajas as their respective muses find common ground in this adventurous and intriguing release.
