There is something purely authentic and honest about Infant Island's music. These songs are substantial in their impact that go deep under the surface. The sound mix is everywhere (track 3 on headphones?!?!) with some of the slower nuanced moments giving needed space for maximum effect when the violent intensity hits. But on career highlight "Awoken," they leave nothing behind. A must hear song from an increasingly important band. bcb723
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
Expected this to be a screamo record since it's on Miss The Stars, but it's more of an ambient/post-rock release. Reminds me a little of the era of early Sufjan Stevens without the annoying stuff. Really good music for studying, staring out the window on a rainy day, etc. The Real Nick House
