Bitchin Bajas Announce New Album ‘Inland See’ & 2025 Fall Tour Dates

Bitchin Bajas announced a new album, Inland See, arriving on September 26 via Drag City. The psychedelic drone trio of Cooper Crain, Rob Frye and Daniel Quinlivan shared the single “Skylarking” along with 2025 Fall Tour dates.

Inland See follows Bitchin Bajas’ 2022 record, Bajascillators. Armed with material they wrote on the road, the band led by Cave guitarist/keyboardist Cooper Crain took to Chicago’s Electrical Audio, the recording facility founded by the late Steve Albini. The trio, along with engineer Cooper, cut the record in Studio B, a room that lent plenty of space to the sound with no post reverb necessary.

The first taste of Inland See is the LP’s opening track, “Skylarking,” “a remarkable construction, built to and fro in the ether, but with a deceptive grasp of four-on-the-floor rhythm,” as per press materials. “A space dance that achieves completion in almost aggressive terms — aggressive like an oxygen bath! — showcasing jewels from their world music and jazz archives, then returning to their undulous source drone, riding smoothly back into silence.”

Bitchin Bajas will embark on an extensive North American Fall Tour including dates supporting Stereolab. The trio kick off their autumn itinerary on October 2 in Sawyer (Michigan), followed by a stop in Milwaukee on October 3.

The band will then head to Chicago for a pair of performances on October 4 and October 10, the latter a date with Stereolab. On October 13, they will perform in Denver before continuing to Salt Lake City on October 14. The tour rolls into Boise on October 15.

Bitchin Bajas will then support Stereolab on the West Coast and in Texas between October 17 and November 2 with headline forays in Pioneertown (California) on October 26, Tucson (Arizona) on October 29 and Austin (Texas) on Halloween.

The headline trek picks back up with stops in Oklahoma City on November 3 and Kansas City (Missouri) on November 4. On November 5, they’ll play in St. Louis, then move through Columbia (Missouri) on November 6 and Urbana (Illinois) on November 7.
