WHATEVER WILL HAPPEN

On Whatever Will Happen, Iji has whipped a notebook full of travel poems into a full length American experimental highway pop opus. The band's eleventh or twelfth album is the first one recorded at Anacortes, Washington's "The Unknown" Music Studio with a solid line-up, the Seattle underground music scene's best players. Jake Jones and Curran Foster from Sick Sad World, Will Murdoch from Pill Wonder, Evan Easthope from Neighbors, Erin Birgy of Mega Bog, plus a handful of jazz horn players and inspired back-up singers. Whatever Will Happen speeds past quiet beaches with soft-rock wind in the hair, through mountain passes with windows-down-power-pop, into seedy cities with free-jazz flavor and shameless disco grooves.
