Free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements are set to release their fifth album, 'Future Present Past,' featuring collaborations with MOTHERBOARD and Helado Negro.
Get ready to be sonically entangled once again! Modern free jazz innovators Irreversible Entanglements—vocalist Camae Ayewa (aka Moor Mother), bassist Luke Stewart, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro, saxophonist Keir Neuringer, and drummer Tcheser Holmes—have announced their fifth album, Future Present Past.
The album is slated for release next month via the esteemed jazz label Impulse!, with the band returning to Van Gelder Studio in New Jersey to record. Frequent collaborator MOTHERBOARD features heavily on the tracklist, and Helado Negro makes guest appearances on the opening and closing tracks, "Juntos Vencemos" and "We Overcome."
Annemone Take
Irreversible Entanglements shared the following statement about the new LP:
> The weight of a certain world can feel cruel and unusual. Another world uplifts. We form as five and transform into billions. Billions of us on this planet sharing this journey through existence—futures full of possibility and potential, the present with all its anxieties and uncertainties, pasts as wellsprings of ancestral wisdom and histories’ warnings.
>
> This album is five standing on the shoulders of legions. The healers, the alchemists, the rebels, the mothers and fathers who have fought and weaved and invented new ways of being, seeing, and balancing the frequencies of this planet towards trans-dimensional liberation and universal understanding.
>
> We assume our role in this music as messengers, continuing in the tradition’s long march along the arc of the universe. Freedom fighters telling us not to lose our heads amidst imposed chaos. It is our duty to vibrate higher, beyond the noise, above the hype, away from the novelty, over the walls, across the borders: to keep going.
>
> The spirit moves us to sing these fight songs, to sing fight songs, we overcome. To hold on, to keep going, together we overcome.
Two tracks from the album, "Don’t Lose Your Head" and "Vibrate Higher," featuring MOTHERBOARD, have already been released. "Don’t Lose Your Head" bursts forth with a swinging rhythm and a powerful melodic chorus. "Vibrate Higher" evolves from a tranquil beginning into a chaotic soundscape, reminiscent of a stressful day in a bustling urban environment. Listen below:
