With delayed guitar, smooth keyboard tones, thick melodic bass guitar, simple unobtrusive drums, and reverb drenched harmonizing male and female vocals, Infrared aren't afraid to wear their influences on their sleeve. With their debut self-titled 5 song EP they have successfully combined the lush dreamy sounds of shoegaze with the reverant beauty and simplicity of Low.
At times, on this EP, Infrared can show their influences a little bit too much and can come across as a little derivitive. But the majority of the songs seem to hold their own and show that with just a little more time this band will grow and develop even more of a voice of their own.
