BLeeK Swinney I never know what to expect from ITT but it’s always something enigmatic and intensely alive.

about

“Reflecting the tension of our times, while striving for some calm normality, Ivan The Tolerable has concocted a jittery work of high anxiety cosmic jazz. Galactic chimes dance with kosmiche synths and spacious psych for an engulfing cerebral jam to guide the listener to survive
the end of the world.” James Thornhill
Electronic Sound/Line of Best Fit

"On White Tears track “Gold Hat” the muse has landed him firmly in a haze of woozy electric piano, ethereal synth, saxophone, and LSD dreams. The track opens on space-y synths and horn that feel like waking from a 12-hour surgery in gauzy anesthesia bliss. Imagine Eternal Tapestry, Get Up with it-era Miles, and Mort Garson taking a stab at Zeppelin’s “No Quarter” on some wine-soaked evening in a Biodome on the off-world colonies. That’s the vibe I’m getting listening to this long, expansive, and totally immersive track" John Hubner - Complex Distractions

*Bonus track's available on the digital and cassette release

If you crossed the second half of David Bowie's jazz and electronica-infused 1977 album Low (say, Subterraneans) with The Sisters of Mercy, you would have this album. What a unique and well-executed sound. Warpfan

Fantastic world music-inflected kosmische/krautrock with a heavy rhythmic backbone. This is the type of record you can put on and zone out to any time. Levrikon
