Ajeeb Sign to Spinda Records; Refractions Out March 29
One does not envy either Canary Islands trio Ajeeb or Spinda Records, which sent the announcement below, the process of coordinating a release across 10 record labels. It’s hard enough with one, two, involved, and the advantage of having a bunch covering different locales is, duh, wider distribution for the artist, but the tradeoff of who gets what when and when a record is coming out, my goodness. If even one person is an asshole — and I don’t know most of these labels personally, but my inclination is to assume that people passionate enough about underground music to help release it generally aren’t assholes — the whole thing could derail.
Nonetheless, Ajeeb‘s second full-length, Refractions — not to be confused with the Lowrider album of the same name — is part of a strong upcoming year for Spinda (not that I’ve seen the schedule or anything) and will see release with a firm March 29 arrival date. There’s no new audio as of now, but you can hear the band’s punk and noise rock-informed take on heavy with the stream of their debut LP, Toss and Turn, which came out in 2020, on the player at the bottom of this post.
Signing announcement follows:
***SPINDA RECORDS – NEW BAND ANNOUNCEMENT***
Today is a good day! We are so happy to share with y’all that Canary Island alt-rock and shoegaze power trio AJEEB is joining our family. We’ve been following them since the very beginning and there’s no better way to do this than with a new album.
