Irreversible Entanglements announce new album, Open the Gates

Irreversible Entanglements have announced a new album. On November 12, the group will release Open the Gates via Don Giovanni/International Anthem. The album was recorded in a single day in Philadelphia in January. The first track the group has shared from the album is the title track. Check it out below. The group also has a few tour dates lined up this fall, which you can also see below.

Philadelphia-based author Alex Smith sin a press release says the album “is ethereal shards of jagged onyx, a melancholic exploration of the post-colonial debris that surrounds us. Let’s watch and listen, as this platter snakes through the sandy ashes of possible histories, dialogs with a nervous present, and asks to be birthed into a holographic new future.”

Open the Gates follows 2020’s Who Sent You?
