‘compound turbulence flexing for the heat’ is the debut EP from Chicago quintet ira glass. Recorded at Electrical Audio and dedicated to its late founder Steve Albini, the EP marks ira glass’ studio debut, following two self-recorded demos praised by Stereogum as “noisy, tense, and aggressive [...] post-hardcore so volatile it can hardly be contained.” These studio recordings are a kinetic opening statement, putting the “fuzzy sort of fullness” (Chicago Reader) of their early demos in high definition.
