Listen on Qobuz HERE

Qobuz , the independently owned high-quality music streaming and download platform, has partnered with Chicago independent record label Drag City Records to release Isle Peaks, the latest EP from psychedelic-indie trio Bitchin Bajas, exclusively on the platform today. Recorded by members Cooper Crain, Rob Frye, and Dan Quinlivan, the EP comes in the wake of the band's 10th studio album, Inland See, released last year and praised by Pitchfork as "cosmic… dazzling, [and] hypnotic."

Sourced from Inland See's sessions, The Isle Peaks EP explores different quadrants of the Bajas electronic acoustic universe, combining textures of sampled kalimba, field recordings, autoharp, and the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) into a danceable and dreamy result.

Bitchin Bajas' Cooper Crain said, "Recorded onto 2" tape and mixed to 1/2" 2-track, we wanted the mixes to be clear in fidelity with maximal minimalism, allowing multiple deep listens to get lost in. Adding to both the Bajas and Qobuz's hi-end output, we are more than 'psyched' to contribute this EP to the hi-fi heads who dig."

Keeping with its "Boutique in a Superstore World" approach and focus on independent music, Isle Peaks is the latest of Qobuz' exclusive releases for hard-core music lovers. Showcasing adventurous music that is often overlooked by the mainstream, Qobuz' other recent partnerships and exclusive releases include Sam First Records' live-to-record series (featuring works by Rachel Eckroth, Devin Daniels, Jeff Babko, Tim Lefebvre, and Mark Guiliana); International Anthem's Qobuz series (featuring live-to-record performances by Makaya McCraven, Alabaster DePlume with Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer, Carlos Niño with DJ-producer Photay, and more); Qobuz' live-to-EP SXSW showcases (featuring Yazmin Lacey, Shana Cleveland, Miss Grit, Cosmo Pyke, Caramelo Haze, and Barrie); and other exclusive releases from the likes of Dinosaur Jr., Circuit des Yeux, Christian McBride, Frank Zappa, Tower of Power, and many more.

Qobuz VP, Music + Editorial (US, CA, UK, AU/NZ, Nordics) Sujan Hong added: "What a delight to have Bitchin Bajas conduct their experimental magic exclusively for Qobuz. Each listen reveals new layers and ideas, so listen often!"
