In the wake of 2025’s acclaimed Inland See, Bitchin Bajas ascend to higher ground with the Isle Peaks EP! Isle Peaks was initially released as a 2-song Qobuz exclusive, but Bitchin Bajas are a band of the people, for the people – and the people demanded its availability everywhere! Set for release on August 28th on vinyl, cassette, and digital, the 12″ EP and cassette feature “Watch Your Step”, an exclusive track not included on the Qobuz version or any digital platform. Listen to the title track, out now.
Expanding through equal parts krautrock and new age zones, these three tracks ascend with the listener to signal-splitting heights on both atmospheric and esoteric scales. These cuts were sourced from the Inland See sessions, lovingly recorded analog (2″ multitrack tape and ½” 2-track), including the electroacoustic textures of sampled kalimba, field recordings, and autoharp.
Along with the announcement of Isle Peaks, Bajas share a new run of US tour dates, as well as additions to their previously announced European dates. Climb Isle Peaks with us on August 28, 2026.
