ira glass – “mister magnanimous”
Chicago post-hardcore band ira glass have released “mister magnanimous”, a new single accompanied by a self-directed music video. The track moves from screamed vocals and abrasive instrumentation into eerie screeches and an uneasy, loping groove, before building back into another burst of noise.
Frontwoman Lise Ivanova’s lyrics continue the band’s references to broadcast personalities. In the video, she walks through Chicago’s Millennium Park wearing a fetish mask. The band have three tour dates this weekend: 12 November in Montreal, 13 November in Toronto and 14 November in Kalamazoo. A 12-inch split EP is due on 11 December, pairing their 2024 debut on Side A with last year’s release on Side B.
