Description
London and Berlin-based quartet Let Spin return with I am Alien, their fifth album and first release with UK label Discus Music, a record that marks a new chapter in the band's evolution. Building on the momentum of 2022's Thick As Thieves, the record is a continuous, shape-shifting work that thrives on tension and risk, collapsing the boundary between composition and improvisation while distilling over a decade of shared history into a fiercely unified listening experience.
Over more than 13 years of playing together, Let Spin have forged a distinctive group identity rooted in the constant negotiation between written material and spontaneous invention. That longevity has created an instinctive musical understanding, allowing the band to move seamlessly between tightly constructed forms and open, high-risk exploration.
A defining feature of I am Alien is its uninterrupted structure. Each track flows directly into the next, mirroring the way the band perform on stage and extending a format first explored on Thick As Thieves. The album unfolds not as a collection of discrete pieces, but as a single evolving arc -- immersive, physical and relentlessly forward-moving - designed to be experienced in one sustained stretch.
