ira glass, have announced their debut EP, compound turbulence flexing for the heat, will drop on July 12th via Fire Talk/Angel Tapes, Today they have shared the album track, “where’d you get the candy baby lol.” Recorded at Electrical Audio and dedicated to its late founder Steve Albini. The EP is the Chicago band’s debut studio album. To celebrate the release of compound turbulence flexing for the heat, ira glass will perform at Cole’s Bar on July 12th

When recording at Electrical Audio, ira glass capitalized on the space’s storied elements, known for its ability to authentically capture sound, to mimic their live performances. In conjunction with self-sourced instrumentation — including a home-made“trash-stack” percussion set of dented, cut and otherwise damaged cymbals — ira glass utilized Electrical Audio’s extensive backline, deploying toy glockenspiels, a vintage Wurlitzer piano, and vocal processing units used by the Cars, Cocteau Twins, and ELO to enact their own singular vision.

ira glass includes Lise Ivanova (vocals/guitar), Sunny Betz (guitar), Landon Kerouac (drums), Jill Roth (saxophone) and Kaleb Wallace (bass).
