It’s Friday, and the release schedule has picked up around these parts, and a couple of my favorite artists are dropping new LPs today. It’s definitely not an end-all-be-all list, but just wanted to give you something worth jamming to all day long. No need to get long-winded here, just offering advice for Friday.

The Infinites Share The Queen

January 10, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

One of my most anticipated Austin record this year is the forthcoming LP from the Infinites. We’ve already hyped up their super “The Expat” single, and they’re raising the bar on this new one. Musically, the track feels like a ship at sea, rocking back and forth in the crafty groove the band have created. Steadying the ship, however, is Jared Leibowich (an ATHR alum!), with his voice shining its majesty atop as it guides the band’s pop sensibility. There’s several moments when the band locks in here, throwing out a rocking guitar solo just to flex the stellar musicianship on the stage. You’re going to want to grab Archetypes; it drops via Meritorio on February 16th.

The Infinites Announce New Record

December 12, 2023 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The Infinites have been one of our favorite acts in the Austin scene; the band’s full of ties to our own ATH Records, with members of both Zoltars and the Hermits playing on this record…and we couldn’t be happier to see them all land on one of our favorite labels, Meritorio! Our first single offers listeners a glimpse at the group’s propensity for offering an indie rock groove; you can feel the movement in the way the song goes up and down, constantly moving and growing. Jared’s vocal work is some of his best today, coolly riding that steady movement as the guitar lines seem to dance all around him. If you haven’t listened to the band before, might we suggest also spending some time with their self-titled debut. Archetypes will be out on February 16th via Meritorio Records–Pre-Order it HERE!
