London and Berlin-based quartet Let Spin return with I am Alien, their ffth 
album and frst 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 fercely unifed 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 defning feature of I am Alien is its uninterrupted structure. Each track fows directly into the next, mirroring the way the band perform on stage and extending a format frst 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.
