Let us watch and listen as this record winds through the gritty ashes of possible histories, dialogues with a nervous present, and asks to be gestated into a new holographic future. “Together in sacred sound!” the band weaves patient anthems from atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePulling from a broader sonic vocabulary than on their previous works, the “agit-jazz” found here is simultaneously pre- and post-apocalyptic: the bass moves forward with a looping, hypnotic swing, the horns sneak into the cracks of the tracks like poltergeists playing in the streets, the poetry cascades like a warrior’s call at a satsang, and the drums, at once wild and refined, pulse with an uhuru heart-beat. This is Irreversible Entanglements in new territory; the same as the old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd we need it now: the universe was thick with the sickly static of the anti-cosmos, of the anti-nation-state; the halls were empty, our shadows echoed and stained the walls of our abandoned oases, so we spilled into the wild streets of 2020. Ghosts of our labor danced around the disease as we torched our old ways of thinking and moving, as we torched police cars and smashed the windows of our own burgeoning marginalization. “Open the Gates!” we shouted, bless it; we need it now!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere come Irreversible Entanglements: Luke Stewart, the high priest of the bass; Aquiles Navarro, the electric universe made human form on trumpet; Keir Neuringer, the siren-sounding cosmologist on saxophone; Tcheser Holmes, the griot, the myth-maker on drums; and Camae Ayewa, the Moor Mother with a pen of empyrean character. On this new record, their fierce sonic tectonics move the earth: their post-Pangea aquatica as lament, their punk ethics, their crash and clamor of supersonic polyrhythms in the shape of sonic synesthesia on OPEN THE GATES. Here it comes, sibs… here it comes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenampa Record Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47797715173539,"sku":null,"price":480.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/1239\/2867\/files\/image_ef416813-4d5e-4c92-ba64-6f97dfc1af94.jpg?v=1782078026","url":"https:\/\/tenampa.mx\/en\/products\/irreversible-entanglements-open-the-gates-2lp-international-anthem","provider":"Tenampa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
