New single, The Returner, is available today

Get a first-listen of the brand new song, “The Returner” from iota’s upcoming sophomore album, Pentasomnia.

Iota's new album, Pentasomnia, is centered around dreams. With each song narrating a first-person account of an acute mind state, "The Returner" (the album's third track) attempts to describe the character's experience of waking from the dream of life, encountering their now unrestrained hallucinations in the in-between, and then returning to yet another dream. Interpretation, divine. 

This is iota’s second full-length LP on Small Stone Records. Their first album, Tales, has quietly percolated into cult status since its release in 2008; accumulating accolades and fans steadily over the years.

“Throughout Pentasomnia’s 5 tracks, iota revel in the groove and sway of these five songs—from the boozy head-hang of opener “The Intruder” into the ambient push of “The Returner,” which feels like a manifestation of the meld between cosmic and desert rocks that was so much the heart of the band during their first run; the very essence of what they do, given new life and perspective.”
