was late on psycic psummer but that would've been a guaranteed top 20 of 2009, at least. bummed they're not hitting up more of NE during their summer tour.

sounds a LOT like Oneida. This is not a complaint.

Also got onto this album pretty late but really dig it - the last track is a thing of beauty, like Jackie Mittoo produced by Conny Plank or uh something

oops, sorry, "this album" = Psychic Psummer, didn't even know there was a new one but I am super-excited for that now! thank you ILM
It's a new ep, no?

yes, 3 songs, about 20 minutes
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 14 May 2010 14:55 (3 years ago) Permalink
Ah, I thought from the price on Rough Trade it was a cheap LP rather than an expensive EP. And apparently Norman Records have sold out of them despite them only arriving yesterday. Time to shop around...

Their last show in town was in the basement DIY space and it fucking COOKED.is this their thing, playing nontraditional venues? the denver show they played was a totally random head shop/record store/art space that i'd never heard of before and haven't heard of since. god, it was so good.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 19:55 (1 year ago) Permalink
It is sometimes their thing, not always. They've all got a lot of experience with touring and playing rock shows. Sometimes a non-traditional space is just more attractive.Sometimes, getting paid is.

The rhythmic orchestration of the rock band Cave typically unwinds slowly but steadily over lengthy songs. They are often called "roller-rinkin’ rock for the next generation."
Confused about what that phrase means? The band sat down with Eight Forty-Eight to explain what exactly roller-rinkin' rock is and why they are not your typical jammers
― Art Arfons (La Lechera), Friday, 14 October 2011 18:42 (1 year ago) Permalink
Actually, the dance jam at the end of one of the title track isn't 80s, more Neu. Either way, I like it. Wish I had gone to at least ONE of those shows, but OH WELL.

Bajas just played a local gig last week! BB started as Cooper's solo gig, but has since expanded to a three piece. There is already another album in the can and lots of stuff in progress, too, I think. I heard some of the new Cave record-in-progress, too, and I'm really excited about it.

here's the info on the new one, in inimitable drag city style
Bitchin Bajas are back, baby! Their new album Bitchitronics, out July 16, 2013 on Drag City, is ready with the quickness we expect from the Chicago-based band - which is funny, since their area of expertise and mastery is in the area of synthetic ephemeral sonic languidity known more instinctively, inclusively (and let's face it, irresponsibly) as drone music. Put it this way - they make slow music at a fast pace. Bitchitronics is their first realized record as a trio.
Since their first appearance way back in 2010, Bitchin Bajas approach has been simple - unfold tones via synth and keyboard, allowing micro-frequencies to press against each other in a way that pleases the ear, the mind and the soul. From record to record (three albums, a split 7" and a split 12", a cassette and an 12"EP), their process is redefined by confronting the technologies of formative and outmoded machines, sliding into different quadrants of the ambient/post-organic/electronic/and drone universe each time around. Thus, the experience of slipping inside their music seems so singular and pure, like floating naked in a sensory deprivation tank. Just us and our minds and the music. Simple, right? But other things occur underneath...
For Bitchitronics, the concept was: use tape techniques to create and then solve problems - loops and edits were there to make things fun and the music great in the style of experimental tape pioneers upon whose shoulders the Bajas play. Mission bitchin' accomplished! Recording was mostly done in, all over and around a house in Fennville, MI with three tape machines reeling in the sounds - sometimes, in addition to sounds that have never seen the light of day, you're also hearing the sound of the light of day on the tape (or when they recorded at night, evening stars). Two 1/4" tape machines were utilized to make loops and execute the Bitchitronics sound system, one of which discreetly captured the combined sounds of the loops with live playing. Once done, it was back to HQ where edits of the 1/4" recordings were utilized to create larger tapestries on the 2-track master tape.
You want to use the Bitchitronics method for yourself? That's how it's done! Taking the long path to realize this album makes for some heavenly music indeed.
