Ex Ibex "Commercial Music" — Album Release Party

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Join us for an evening celebrating the release of "Commercial Music" by Ex Ibex, presented by Midnight Tea.

The night begins with an album listening experience at 6:00 PM, followed by a live performance at 7:30 PM.

Commercial Music™ is the debut album from Chicago's Ex Ibex, an audacious quintet of seasoned improvisers taking inspiration from the city's storied creative music scene. Clocking in at 52 minutes, the album presents a balanced offering of material from a studio session and a live performance to create a cohesive, unified, and bold statement. The musicians approach their canvas with a confoundingly wide palette of sonic elements, from knotty slabs of art-punk and prickly avant-prog to gorgeous expanses of ambient electronic and spiritual jazz. And funk. Don't forget the funk.
