Infinite Body is Kyle Parker, once know throughout the world as Gator Surprise in his youthful days. Now a grown man he has cast aside his harsh outpouring and transformed it into a lush and bright planetary awakening. Drawing the harmony of the spheres into his brain and channeling it through his fingertips onto recorded medium INFINITE BODY causes sound to bloom where there once was only darkness! Yes! This rules! You might have witnessed such events live during Infinite Body tours with No Age, Dan Deacon and Deehunter.

Exceptional Sounds - Infinite Body is a particularly human one
Infinite Body, a.k.a. Kyle Parker, a Los Angeles-based musician, has created a masterpiece in Carve Out the Face of My God. You and I have both heard reams of electronic music that attempts to bridge technology and possibilities of sound - but ends up with an exercise in technicality. The heart is missing. Not so here. Kyle brings absolute emotion to his work - in a way that few electronic musicians do. Boards of Canada and Jon Hopkins fans take note. Each track on this album has an unfinished brokenness to it. Infinite Body is a particularly human one. No less so than the title track (track 11). I have been recommending this album to most everyone - because it is something different, beautiful, and full. If you get a chance, also check Kyle out on tour. He recently played Nashville, TN (Betty's).

Phenomenal record
If you like drone or ambient music in any way, you'll likely enjoy this record. I could describe it as 'pretty chords with distortion' but it means so much more than that if you dig into it. It's a record that can float right beside your life in swells and troughs and provide some comfort in each. Go listen to some of the samples of this guy's work on his bandcamp. If you like the track 'Enlacing' on there, don't let this record float by you.

This Band Deserves More Attention
I ran into this album at a public library in Minneapolis. The cover looked interesting and contrasted sharply with the album title, which led me to expect the album to consist of some kind of gruesome existentially-flavored industrial music. I was pleasantly suprised to discover that the music contained within the album was quite the contrary. Instead of disjointed, glitchy, disturbing melodies, I found a series of wonderfully unique, pleasant ambient songs. I've listened to a lot of instrumental/ambient music, and I've never heard anything quite like this. I'd characterize it as being somewhere between early Eno and Stars of The Lid. It's fairly melancholy, but NOT in a self-indulgent way, as so many ambient albums are. Do give it a listen if you are interested in electronic music-- it's highly unlikely that you'll find yourself disappointed.
