Open the Gates

by Irreversible Entanglements

Open the Gates cover art

Recorded during a marathon studio session directly following a major live performance, the avant-garde free jazz collective expands their politically charged sound by introducing heavy analog synthesizers. Moor Mother's blazing, apocalyptic poetry acts as the anchor amidst chaotic, entirely improvised saxophone and trumpet freak-outs. The project stands as a fiery, Afro-futurist continuation of the deeply spiritual and combative lineage of American free jazz.
