Album Tour
Following two years of performances across stages like Roskilde Festival, Clandestino, Paesaggi Sonori, and a first Japan tour, BITOI now turns their focus inward with the release of their debut full length album Sirkulu. The album captures the energy and evolution of a band that has steadily carved out its own sonic language — abstract, bold, and deeply focused.
BITOI’s first full-length album Sirkulu marks a bold new chapter — a work rooted in abstraction, clarity, and a sound unlike anything else.
Composer and bassist Cassius Lambert describes the process:
“My worst ideas often lie next to my best ones, a motto I usually follow. The idea of a band with choir, quarter-tone bass, and lyrics based on bird phonetics is something I probably would have dismissed – but in that limitation, we found something powerful. It pushed us to approach our instruments and composition in completely new ways.”
Sirkulu is out now on Supertraditional, with a series of live performances ahead:
