Siblings Abraham, Angel, Israel, and Momo Boyd — the Michigan-born group Infinity Song, who went from busking in New York subways to signing with Roc Nation in 2016 — have released their self-titled album.
After “Hater’s Anthem” in 2024 marked their shift toward soft rock and brought them a wider audience, this record pushes further still, pulling in funk, grunge, emo, and cinematic rock alongside the harmonies they built their reputation on. The cover channels Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours“, which is a bold thing to reach for, but on the strength of what is inside, not an unreasonable one.
The album is at its best when the band commits fully to something. “Hurricane” serves as the most immediate proof of that — a funky, rhythm-driven track with a syncopated bassline and a hook that pulls you back, whilst “Sayonara” shows how well they absorb their influences, building to the kind of distorted, funky chorus that Paramore and Olivia Rodrigo have made feel instantly recognisable without feeling borrowed. “Break Out” goes further back, landing somewhere in the middle of ’90s emo energy, with “Deja Vu” leaning more cinematic, as “All of My Friends” hits bass-heavy and fast.
There are softer patches housed too, with “Stranger Danger” and “Running Away” hitting vocally strong but risk getting skipped in a listen-through. The concept interludes “Many Rivers” and “Soldiers” interrupt the album’s momentum at the precise moment it should be pushing forward, it feels like. However, “One Foot Out” will satisfy listeners who came in through the soft rock era, but it sits a little between worlds in a way the stronger tracks do not.
The overall picture is a band that knows what it wants to be and is willing to take risks to get there — not all of which land, but enough of them do to make this a meaningful step.
