BEDOUIN SOUNDCLASH RELEASE NEW SINGLE “ISLANDS IN THE FOG” FT. GIZMO VARILLAS

DINE ALONE RECORDS

JUNO Award-winning and Platinum-selling Bedouin Soundclash return with new single “Islands in the Fog”, available now via Dine Alone Records. The irresistible feel-good track sees longtime musical partners Jay Malinowski and Eon Sinclair team up with artist Gizmo Varillas, a Brighton-based, bilingual Spanish singer-songwriter and producer. Known for his uplifting fusion of Latin rhythms, folk, funk, soul, and indie rock, Varillas injects a vibrant, global groove into the collaboration.

This follows their previous summer single “Bang-A-Lang”, featuring Bermudian reggae artist Collie Buddz, which marked the band’s first new music since 2022. The track was inspired by Malinowski’s young son Finn banging around with his toys, and ultimately features both of the artists’ children singing together. Stream “Bang-A-Lang” HERE.

Malinowski shares, “Gizmo reached out to me a couple of years ago about collaborating, and I immediately loved the dusty sense of travel in his music. I wrote ‘Islands in the Fog’ on a foggy morning at home. From my studio, I could hear the low blasts of ships out on the ocean. The song came out of that feeling — something you know is there, still close, but has somehow become a memory: relationship, a place, or a time in your life that feels just out of reach.”

Bedouin Soundclash rose to international acclaim when their sophomore Platinum-selling album Sounding a Mosaic (2004), featuring the global hit “When The Night Feels My Song”, earned Bedouin a JUNO Award for Best New Group. Over the years, the band has continued to evolve their sound weaving influences of reggae, soul, jazz, gospel, and electronic across acclaimed albums like Street Gospels (2007), Light the Horizon (2010), and MASS (2019).

Bedouin Soundclash’s last album, We Will Meet In A Hurricane, arrived to critical acclaim in 2022 via Dine Alone Records. Co-produced by Malinowski and Colin Stewart (The New Pornographers, Destroyer, Dan Mangan, Black Mountain), the buoyant and soulful tracks on We Will Meet In A Hurricane find Bedouin digging back into their musical roots, steeped in the border-bending sounds the band is known for. Stream We Will Meet In A Hurricane HERE.

Renowned for their incredible live shows, the band have shared the stage with a laundry list of iconic artists including No Doubt, Ben Harper, Damian Marley, The Roots, and Bad Brains to name just a few. The band celebrated the 20th anniversary of Sounding a Mosaic with an extensive Canadian tour, and supported the inimitable Frank Turner on his NA run including a performance at his award-winning festival, Lost Evenings VII in Toronto.

Bedouin Soundclash is currently wrapping up a Fall 2026 U.S. Tour with Mariachi El Bronx and Max Diaz.
