‘Infinity Trip’ by Self-Immolation Music | Album Premiere
Exclusive album premiere of ‘Infinity Trip’ by Self-Immolation Music, out today via Delicious Clam Records.
After self-releasing a handful of demos and putting out a 7” flexi-disc on Donor Records, Self-Immolation Music is going to release ‘Infinity Trip,’ their debut album on Delicious Clam Records. The band’s members grew up playing in punk and hardcore bands (The Shits, Beta Blockers, Frisk, Tramadol, Implement, Cheap Surgery, Lugubrious Children, et cetera), so their approach to songwriting is to make it as loud and abrasive as possible. Vocalist Josh prefers his voice to serve as another layer of whirring noise in their rich and heavy sound, rather than a way to tell a linear story. He takes a “stream of consciousness” approach to writing, enjoying the opportunity it gives him to meditate and reflect on the human condition.
The band is Self-Immolation Music and their debut album, ‘Infinity Trip,’ runs the gauntlet of dreamlike pulsing basslines, nightmarish synthscapes and acid soaked guitar licks all filtered through a punk lens. ‘Infinity Trip’ marks the start of a new era for Self-Immolation Music. After three years of experimenting with a completely new sound palette, they emerge with a cohesive and unique take on psychedelia through a punk lens. There are nods to the quintessential psychedelic bands that inspired them (Spacemen 3, Hawkwind, The 13th Floor Elevators) but we get something raw and heavier than you might expect.
