Irreversible Entanglements are a liberation-oriented free jazz collective formed in early 2015 by saxophonist Keir Neuringer, poet Camae Ayewa (a.k.a. Moor Mother) and bassist Luke Stewart, who came together to perform at a Musicians Against Police Brutality event organized after the slaying of Akai Gurley by the NYPD. Months later the group added trumpeter Aquiles Navarro and drummer Tcheser Holmes (a duo who also performed at the MAPB event) for a single day of recording at Seizure’s Palace in Brooklyn, and the full quintet’s first time playing together was captured for this debut. In four relentless bouts of inspired fire music the instrumentalists explore and elaborate compositional ideas drawn from their deep individual studies of free jazz improvisation, but the tone of each piece is driven decisively by Ayewa’s searing poetic narrations of Black trauma, survival and power.
"The Earliest Humans" is an explorative guitar record, (originally released on Pearman's own "Fat Ghost" label) revelling in unconventional textures and unexpected harmonics. The album works with under-explored string sounds from over-the-bridge twangs to clock-like chimes built around the ghostly, silver-thin strains of a resonator guitar. When the playing is more conventional Pearman reveals a delightful melodic invention. This is post-Fahey American-primitive playing pushed through digital filters and beyond.

Can't say I really get the post-Fahey thing necessarily; possibly if you filtered that through fellow South London residents This Heat.
Conceived in New Jersey from its emerging DIY scene from the late ‘90s,
cult hop-hop trio DÄLEK were known as pioneers over the last fifteen
years or so of an intriguing sound which fused a blend of progressive
hip-hop artistry supported by a rhythmic backdrop consisting of sonic
experimentation through noise music and dark ambient (they would be
dubbed by journalists as what would happen when you mix Public Enemy and
My Bloody Valentine). Their singularity would be highlighted in four
defining milestone full-length albums released on Ipecac Recordings (one
of them being their “Absence” masterpiece LP from 2005), along with
live actions where the band would support the likes of Tool and The
Melvins, and even collaborate with the likes of artists such as Faust.
In Spring 2015 mastermind MC Dälek (a.k.a. Will Brooks, with the
blessing of ex-member/co-producer Oktopus) revived DÄLEK after a hiatus
with a new lineup which now includes DJ rEk and Mike Swarmbots and are
now preparing to release their new album “Asphalt For Eden” which will
be the first official DÄLEK release since their last full-length, 2009’s
“Gutter Tactics”.
“Asphalt For Eden” sees a new creative peak for DÄLEK and will bring a new awareness for this cult hip-hop entity now
resurrected once again and ready to show a formidable display of true
hip hop artistry and experimentation through their new album and the
plethora of touring the band have planned in support of it. A band
which many see as one of the most genuine underground DIY hip hop
iconoclasts.
". . .combining 2 classics from 2 different music eras.. The vocals of Mike
Dunn's Pres. MD Express Mid 90's House anthem and the cool groove's of
Funk Inc.'s early 70's Jazz-Funk favorite.. and in the middle a pinch of
mid 80's Full Force"
The 'Seattle Marathon Mixtape,' which isn't there anymore. I have a half-assed theory that anxiety is the general theme of modern music, with 'Music for Airports' being a blessed exception
Comments
@confused - Global a go go is my favorite Joe Strummer album, might queue that one next.
