      Classic Black 140g LP inside a heavyweight reverse-board jacket with 8-page insert booklet (new for IA11, with additional photos and new liner notes written by IE bassist Luke Stewart), IARC 2025 obi strip and printed poly-lined printed innersleeve. Pressed at Pallas in Germany, with new lacquers cut by Daniel K at SST.

      Irreversible Entanglements’ self-titled debut album was originally released in September 2017, and features the first music ever played together by the freshly assembled super-group of Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother), Luke Stewart, Keir Neuringer, Aquiles Navarro, and Tcheser Holmes. The explosive collection of improvised free-jazz with spoken word accompaniment was born after the group's initial meeting at a “Musicians Against Police Brutality” event following the state-sponsored killing of Akai Gurley.

      As the OG press release puts it, “the spirit and subject the band channels and explores represent a return to a central tenet of the free jazz sound as it was founded - to be a vehicle for Black liberation. As creative and adventurous as any recording of contemporary avant-garde jazz but offering listeners no abstractions to hide behind, this is music that both honors and defies tradition, speaking to the present while insisting on the future.”
