Ambient Drone Post Present Medium Records 2008
Download Carve Out The Face Of My God
Infinite Body is the ambient project of a mister Kyle Parker. Infinite Body uses subtle themes within drones to create a compelling relaxing universe, this use of themes is most prevalent in opening track "Dive". "Carve Out The Face Of My God" is a minimalist's digital fantasy.
Thematically, this album expresses veneration, a forgotten elegance, and an intimate sort of retrospective perspective on live. It achieves these through crooning, digital legato strings, distorted vocal drones, and great song composition. For an ambient album, the songs are pretty short (but pretty accessible) with two songs clocking in at seven minutes and the rest no more than three minutes, save the 5:31 "Dive". What this does is give the album variety, not choppiness like one would expect having heard other bands long sound scape albums (See Emeralds Solar Bridge).
Infinite Body creates an interesting aesthetic that is reminiscent of both dawn and dusk. The album starts with a strong dawn aesthetic with what is evocative of the sun rising and early morning laziness. Around the 4th track, it fast forwards to a dusk-drenched sound present in a slowly darkening sound.
At times, this album even touches on the swirling analog synth beauty of the great Boards Of Canada. Words says that Infinite Body creates a better live experience than studio efforts can express. This simple fact scares me.
