About Infusion

If live electronic music is boring in concert (dull people behind laptops and synths, no guitarists who jump around) why would The Sydney Morning Herald name the electronica unit Infusion not the Best Live Dance Act award but the all-around Best Live Act award? Austrailians have been hip to the live and on-record energy of the Melbourne-based Infusion since Frank Xavier, Manuel Sharrad, and Jamie Stevens formed the band in 1998. Through labels Thunk and Roadrunner, the Infusion released a string of successful 12"s that caught the attention of influential DJs like Paul Oakenfold and Pete Tong. The band slowly grew a cult following, but 2004 found their career really taking off. They landed a slot at the huge U.K. Glastonbury festival and had Muzik magazine declaring them "a force to be reckoned with." In August of that year they toured America as their "Girls Can Be Cruel" and "Do to You (In '82)" 12"s were climbing club play lists everywhere. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

Dear Science
TV On The Radio
On the way to be established as the best American band of the decade, TV on the Radio's third album has arrived surrounded by five star reviews. Good news is the music totally justifies this level of hype. The Brooklyn-based combo has not abandoned their experimental nature; albeit "Dear Science" sounds deliberately shinier, funkier and more accessible than its, already polished, precursor "Return to Cookie Mountain." Lyrically, though, is quite a darker proposition. Many see on its tone a suitable metaphor to describe their country's collective mood, demoralized and confused, right at the end of Bush's presidency. The band's eclecticism is on full display: electro hooks next to D&B touches; shoegaze's atmospheric layers mixed with post-rock's bass lines via P-funk, often all in the same song. This sonic fusion can be as impressive as disorientating; rich and dense, but also the key that makes TV on the Radio's work improve with repeated listening. Main vocalist Tunde Adebimpe, often helped by guitar player Kyp Malone on second vocals, appears as a sort of missing link between Peter Gabriel and Prince; whereas David Sitek recently turned into producer du jour, applies his multi-instrument playing skills. Members of Antibalas guest on horns, highlighting the romance a new generation of US bands is having with African music. Celebration's Katrina Ford also helps in the mighty single "Golden Age" and the ballad "Family Tree", another of the album's many standout moments. .
