Modern, filled with futuristic sounds post-rock, or as they describe it, "high-concept instrumental bliss from dystopic guitars, cinematic synths, live symphony, and glitch-y transmissions". This year the New York-based trio Infinity Shred released their third album after Sanctuary and Long Distance. Today we check Forever, a Fast Life.
The band state that they are in war with the modern world, or to be more precise, its attention span: "We always hear the world has a hard time paying attention to longform content, however (...) we put a lot of work into our album as a whole experience. We want you to feel like it’s worth it to take the journey with us.” The unique approach of their music is already tangible in the introductory Brutal Luxury in which neoclassical and pompous strings meet luminary electronics. This is the clash the Americans build up their music upon.
Undoubtedly it is true that the album sounds like one, complete story. It is oftentimes filled with guitars on electronic backgrounds that in sum reminds me of artists such as Tides from Nebula or Shadow Universe. Sometimes, like in a very well done Cranemaker, the Americans' post-rock almost borders post-metal thanks to the tirelessly energetic, metal use of drums.
Forever, a Fast Life costs 9.99 USD.
