Times Infinity, Calisse
Recommended
Through stints in such stylistically diverse projects as the Builders and the Butchers, Wooden Indian Burial Ground, and Autopilot Is for Lovers, Paul Seely has reached an esteemed status as a songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist. His newest band, Times Infinity have been under the radar a couple of years, but you wouldn't be able to tell by the breadth of the material on their new self-titled album, which sees its release tonight. With ex-members of another of Seely's former bands, Porches, the band coalesces dutifully to support his somewhat metaphysically minded songwriting. The group's fluid rock foundations are put to existential apexes on songs like "Polish and Demolish" and "On the Sun in Your Eyes." Sonic spectrums are stretched from the garage—as heard on the fantastic "Preach to Me"—to the powerful and raw on big classic rockers like "Rig Around," finally coming back to earth on the album's dreamy coda "Muzzle Visions."
