Our Take

You know you're in for an adventurous ride when the opening track of an album is called "The Code Noir / Amina" - and that's exactly what you get with IRREVERSIBLE ENTANGLEMENTS' latest offering, "Protect Your Light". This avant-garde jazz collective, comprised of some of the most talented musicians in the game, delivers a mind-bending sonic experience that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music.

From the frenetic energy of tracks like "Regret (No More)" to the haunting beauty of "The Land of the Dead is Open for Business", every moment on this album is a captivating journey through the depths of the human experience. The band's fearless experimentation with sound and structure creates a kaleidoscopic tapestry of melody and rhythm that demands your attention from start to finish.

Vocalist Camae Ayewa's poignant lyrics and powerful delivery add an extra layer of intensity to the already electrifying soundscapes crafted by the band. Her words cut through the chaos like a sharp knife, leaving a lasting impact on listeners long after the music has stopped.
