Hurtling through the perpetual into this moment is the now and future Bitchin Bajas. An effulgent mass located somewhere beyond land or water, Bitchin Bajas’ Inland See is flowing toward you, through the hi-fi, arriving with precision extractions of electroacoustic synthesis, revolving in a post-ambient craft that lifts the listener up powerfully, like youre floating in saltwater, or helium effervescent, effortless, elemental.

The successor to 2022s Bajascillators glides easily into frame, but once there, Inland See is deceptively immediate. Its so dialed in, you hardly even feel how present the music (and you the listener) is.

Time wharpings always been a resident magic for Bitchin Bajas, as is flow, which is translucent like water here. Thats the Inland See vibe, unique unto itself. In turn, each of the four songs here are entirely within themselves, all together forming an essential whole. The coincisionll cause yer breath to shorten, like an exciting and non-fatal kind of exercise! New freedoms, yet more molecular structure in each one.

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. The stuff that fills this Inland See holds you up powerfully, as if youre floating, saltwater or helium-wise effervescent, effortless, elemental.

An increasing sense of the Bajas’ physicality whats ephemeral, whats mercurial, and what sits inside us after its all over. This music was mostly written on the road. Its an unusual happening for Bitchin Bajas! They were open for it, though the landmarked Bajascillators kept them out there for a while, and when inspiration struck, there they rolling. When it was time to render it to tape and find the record there, they did the whole thing at Electrical Audio. Recording all together in the room there lent a sense of space, which they dug and captured as natural as possible. No reverb at all added after the fact. Everything thats there was in system, directed through the interconnects with cool hands. And once Inland See is flowing toward you, through the hi-fi, you feel it all in the air.
