Look! In the midst of the Herd!
Yep, it's us, now taking up residence at www.Myspace.com/InfradigMusic. There you can find all sorts of things about us that you never knew, including what the first 3 minutes of our unreleased EP sound like! In the future we’ll have both written and sonic updates every time we get a chance.
So go check it out, become our ‘friend’ and enjoy the free sounds.

Speaking of which, there has been a debate as to whether we should keep the current project an EP or expand it to a full length LP. My first thought is that I want to get some of this new stuff we've been working on out there as quickly as possible for people to hear; these new sounds are different and I think much better than KT. With an EP also, we have greater ability to enhance the CD with special features . . ..
Ideally we'll release the EP late this summer and begin work on the full length around the same time, which won't be out for quite a while: you know long it's taken us to do just these four songs.
Notes
from Carl....
We've been working on this alleged EP so long (since October), I suspect some of you may be wondering whether we actually recorded and are working on an EP after all. Of course we are!: it just takes some time and thought and energy to make instrumental studio music more than good or quality, but beautiful while at the same time finishing school, teaches special ed., engineering asphalt machines for America in England and gigging.
But enough excuses, though, we'll drop this thing on you sometime at the beginning of the summer I think. This EP it will be like almost nothing you've heard from us in the studio, and will be atypical in terms of current jam albums (I'm not saying it will necessarily be better, but hopefully it'll be better). All time that's been taken has been Andrew learning to knob turn and subtly adjust while I've been learning to cut-up, deconstruct and splice. Actually, this post-production thing has kind of grown on me, I've been cutting up anything from Josh's already high quality drums and edrums to emcee Naan Prophet (Justin Cox) to the Higgins Sisters.
See, we were proud of Kinetic Transfer because we did it so quickly and it was largely "pure" -meaning it was mostly "live in the studio" without much post production or mixing. The question is: what good having a "pure" record unless it sounds really good that way -by "really good" I mean the best the band can ever sound? Sure, some bands can do this in the small box-like rooms of a studio, but very few jam bands anymore capture the beauty and/or energy of their live sound in those boxes without it being treated later. Don't get me wrong, KT was a good album: the best songs -"the Dare," "Add Mass" and "Benediction" -were also the songs with the most melody and thoughtful production.
Production in the jam scene is underrated because it is associated with overly clean production. But the clean part of production is only the first step; the personality of the music comes in the messing up of that clean sound. That is what we're working on now: thoughtful and calculated massing up. From cutting up and splicing in radio static and carpet rubbing to interviewing friends and relatives to dubbing edrums: we'll do whatever it takes to make beautiful music.
But don't get too nervous now, all this production talk is just the nuegget (you know, that extra stuff they put inMilky Ways
Oh yeah, we have a track listing for what we'll probably call the Clinical Indifference EP:
1. Clinical Indifference
2. Gravel Tooth
3. Fallout
4. Water (this song will hopefully be renamed before the release)
We're mostly done mixing two of the songs and may have a sample up soon, so watch out for that.

"Serious
contender for CD-of-the-Year... the promotional copy we got at the
radio station is captivating, haunting, dreamy, and intense. I am blown
away by what I'm hearing from Infradig right now. You're killing it. It
makes me think. This is music." - Honest Tunes Radio
CD RELEASE SHOW!!!infradig celebrated the local relase of their new record: Clinical Indifference/The Psychology of Breathing recently at Rhythm and Brews. The rest of the world will have to wait until October 31 for the official release of the record, but here's a review of the show:
If
you have yet to see Infradig live, you must do so at your earliest
convenience. The rest of the world will have to wait until Halloween
for the official release of their latest creation, Clinical Indifference/The Psychology of Breathing,
but a packed Rhythm and Brews CD-release party crowd got to witness
first-hand their orchestrated mastery of sound Friday night.
Cadillac
Jones opened the show and got everyone amped for the main show. The
groove was definitely there, and everyone was in it. Infradig came out
with a Carl Cadwell-led, Hammond-filled jam, and the rest of the band
followed suit. By the third song, they were so deeply entrenched in the
groove that there was no turning back.
A
lot has been said about Infradig's move toward more intricate studio
work, but their studio exploration seems to have done nothing to
diminish their onstage persona. Their show was truly raw and organic,
but with the precision that you only comes from great musicians. I
think that's part of the wide appeal of the band: if you hear them
without any presumptions, you get so much more out of the music than
may even be meant to be there. Rebekah Bayless, who was in from
Huntsville and had never heard the band before, said, 'Their energy was amazing; I could not sit still the entire night."
Towards
the end of the set, we got a fantastic, guitar-based jam that really
turned it up a notch. Even after two hours, they just kept on playing.
With no break. Then, they drove into an extended jam of Boggart,
a mellow, keyboard and bass tune that sounds like it was inspired by
the Beastie Boys' Eugene's Lament.
They will have to take a break soon, I thought. But they just kept going.

Riverbend Report
Ashlie White put together a sweet multimedia slide show from infradig at Riverbend 2006. Check it out here.
First Review: Gravel Tooth (EP)
As Infradig gets more entrenched in the jam band circuit, their music is leaving it. While not abandoning the fun completely, the band’s latest material is less Medeski, Martin and Wood and more DJ Shadow, shifting away from moving your booty in favor of moving your mind. Call it depth, if you like.
Gravel Tooth is the band’s most aggressively produced release to date, an engaging snapshot of material from their upcoming full-length disc. The playing here is tighter than ever, with new guitarist Bill Robinson’s edgy atmospheric contributions more than holding their own within the busy mix.
The band will be giving out—for free—a limited run of Gravel Tooth EPs at Bonnaroo and elsewhere. If, by some miracle, a copy happens to wind up your hands, give it a spin.
