Bitchin Bajas - Switched On Ra (Drag City)

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

If you need to get out of the house this weekend then pop on your favourite Egyptian headdress, take a left at Saturn & floor it to the heart of the Sun (Ra) as Bitchin Bajas make all my cosmic dreams come true by covering the more accessible side of jazz's cosmonaut in chief for Drag City Records.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

To pour some out for one of their heroes, the cosmos’ own Sun Ra, Bitchin Bajas simply cut a slice of their own DNA and amplify it! Or something like that: they clearly vibe with Ra in hypno-symbiosis, setting the controls of their analog synths for the heart of Sun. Bonus mixtribute: a heartfelt doff to Queen Wendy C, sythnaut and another mother! 

Please note: Physical pre-orders for this product placed after October 13th will ship sometime in late November. Orders placed on or before October 13th have shipped to arrive around the October 29th release date. Thank you for your patience!
