I love post rock as a genre, and this stands up among the titans of that esteemed echelon of 'the best of.' Two founders of This Will Destroy You taking the next step forward and elevating music to inspire and inject dreams straight into the psyche. If you enjoy post-rock at all, you will love this album. An early contender for album of the year for me.
Favorite track: Currents.
Somehow familiar yet strange and uncharted too; you, infinite is a project born of a creative friendship spanning three decades, newly rekindled to produce a record of breathtaking majesty that speaks of lived experience and exciting potential. you, infinite reunites Jeremy Galindo and Raymond Brown, founders of acclaimed instrumental outfit This Will Destroy You, in a new collaborative project.
After departing TWDY to pursue a career in medicine, Brown continued to write music while establishing a successful practice in Austin, TX. During the pandemic, he accumulated a collection of melodies and ideas, which he shared with Galindo, sparking a renewed creative partnership. Separated by distance, with Galindo in Los Angeles and Brown in Austin, the duo began to exchange ideas digitally in order to shape the foundations of you, infinite’s electronic-edged, panoramic post-rock sound.
Between 2021 and 2024, the two came together in person to refine the pieces and ultimately to finalise the album. Working with Andrew Hernandez, who recorded and mixed the album in the summer of 2024, Brown and Galindo were joined by Johnnie McBryde, Ethan Billips and Nicholas Huft, all current members of Galindo’s current touring lineup of This Will Destroy You. McBryde’s percussive dynamics along with the textural detail of Billips and Huft helped add a unique depth and incredible warmth to the project, truly bringing the album to life.
As the lead single, ‘Throughlines’ is the first you, infinite music shared with the world and it’s a delicate yet decisive declaration. A tender balance of piano warmth, shimmering guitars and rousing, anthemic percussion; ‘Throughlines’ nurtures an intimate nostalgia for lives since lived whilst also conjuring wordless courage for whatever lies ahead.
A modern successor to TWDY’s own seminal S/T release, ‘you, infinite’ is a reflection on over 15 years of growth and experience, both as bandmates together and as friends apart. A reimagined and reinvigorated approach to the sound they once pioneered, as you, infinite Galindo and Brown are charting a new course across a familiar yet altogether different landscape; honouring their past whilst boldly forging ahead into places unknown.

You have to love a band whose every song and every album sound new and different but unmistakably sound like that band. EITS is one of those bands. Every song is unique, and every album is new, and it is all EITS.

The most austere Russian Circles release yet. But in restraint these tracks find new levels of heavy. Nowhere is this more evident than the closing of the third track, "Gnosis". That shit is savage. Absolutely primal. rettisawesome
