ira glass Unveil New Single, "fritz all over you," via Angel Tapes !
ira glass — the undefinable Chicago quartet of Lise Ivanova (vocals/guitar), Landon Kerouc (drums), Jill Roth (saxophone), and Kaleb Wallace (bass) — today unveil their new single/video, “fritz all over you,” from their forthcoming EP, joy is no knocking nation, out November 14th via Fire Talk. Recorded straight to tape by longtime collaborator Brooks Hannon, joy is no knocking nation is a five track outing that resists categorization. ira glass tap noise, post-hardcore, screamo, and free-jazz to create a spellbinding outing anchored by Ivanova’s transfixing vocal delivery. “fritz all over you” is sleek and hyperspecific, with screeches of “beer pong captains” and “flawless coifs // torn torn torn” scattered throughout. The accompanying “fritz all over you” video — helmed by Giulz Foulkes — is dimly lit and highly eerie.
On “fritz all over you,” ira glass lean into their “volatile and mesmeric" (Stereogum) impulses, as the track starts full-octane and stretches into a jazz, whispered climax. “fritz all over you” follows this summer’s “fd&c red 40,” which received praise from So Young Magazine, Paste, Stereogum and more.
