And we need it now – the universe was awash in the
sickly static veneer of anti-cosmos, of anti-nation; the halls were emptied,
our shadows echoing and staining the walls of our abandoned oases – so we
poured out into 2020’s wild streets. The ghosts of our labor danced around the
sickness as we set fire to our old ways of thinking and moving, as we set fire
to cop cars and bashed in the windows of our own rising disenfranchisement.
“Open the gates!” we shouted, blessed be – we need it now!
Here come Irreversible Entanglements – Luke
Stewart, the high priest on bass; Aquiles Navarro, the electric universe in
human form on trumpet; Keir Neuringer, the cosmologist with the siren sound on
sax; Tcheser Holmes, the griot, the myth-maker on drums; and Camae Ayewa, the
Moor mother with an empyrean pen game – on this new disc with their fierce
aural tectonics shifting the earth, their watery post-pangea as dirge, their
punk rock ethos and crash and bang polyrhythmic super-sonic sound synesthesia
in the form of OPEN THE GATES – here it comes, my Brothas and Sistas, here it
comes.
