The end of Infradig, sadly, is drawing near. After
much consideration and prayer we have agreed that it is almost time to
close this chapter in our lives. Any of you who know us well or have been
following the band for a while know how monumental a decision like this was for
us to make. For most of the 8.7 years Infradig has been together, we have
worked our hardest to make this band as big as possible. Ultimately, we have
come to the realization that, given the style of music that we play and our
location in the world, we have done all that we can. Though Infradig is coming
to a close earlier than any of us had planned, the band has given us all more
than should have expected. Our music has given us a great fanbase, taken us all
over the country, into some of the biggest music festivals in the nation, and
has allowed us to create numerous CD's...a couple that we are even proud of.
Without going too much further into our obituary, it is
important to get back to the aforementioned almost. The next few
months of Infradig are to be quite eventful. This Spring we will play our last
ever Knoxville show and our next-to-last Chattanooga show. We hope to see all
of you at these performances. Most importantly, though, is that we are
beginning work on our last recording ever. In March the absurdity begins as
we start recording at the Gordon Lee Mansion in Chickamauga, GA. There we will
sip mint julips on the veranda while preparing for the biggest ever
Infradig conclusion to be had in early Fall '07. When this all drops
we expect to see every one of you motherscratchers that has ever had anything to
do with us pumping your collective fists in the air.
Stay tuned for more details and updates.

Clinical Indifference/The
Psychology of Breathing More Reviews In:
You can order the album from this site or www.homegrownmusic.net
and if you are anywhere around Chattanooga, TN, you can
pick it up at Chad's. Check out what people are
saying about it:
In short, Infradig’s latest album, their third, is a daring
attempt by talented musicians to both prove and outdo themselves. Luckily for
all, they succeed with an intelligent, soulful, cleverly composed and eminent
album. -
Dave Terpeny, KyndMusic
Joshua Caleb Green, a subtly stupendous shredding machine, manages to
wrest
rich drum sounds from what could have been a bunch of hermetic, hostile
songs. First check out the buzzing beat and solo breaks in
the title track,
and then fast-forward to the tight double strokes in
"Muttering/Shrapnel."
Drumming (and listening) on the edge, this is.
-Drum! Magazine
Oozing atmospheric depth, Infradig’s newest album listens
like an instrumental experiment Thom Yorke would be proud to claim as
his own. So give this CD the respect it deserves by killing the lights
and cranking the volume. It’s guaranteed to stretch and
strengthen musical brains while producing a new definition of what can
be accomplished without vocals.
-Daniel Brantley, Southeast Performer
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. I'll be
featuring cuts from Infradig's upcoming all-instrumental concept album,
Clinical Indifference / The Psychology Of Breathing, on upcoming radio
shows and podcasts
from Honest Tunes Radio.
--Dgold, Honest Tunes Radio
"I
am sad to say that I was one of the many folks who hadn’t
been graced with the stirring and haunting presence of Infradig.
Emotionally wrought harmonies intermingle and fraternize with elite
song arrangements that a group like Gomez
would covet." ---J. Sin,
Smother.net
"Theirs is almost the sound you would have if
Aphex Twin had compiled the Silent Hill score. The spacey, atmospheric
coffee house grooves and jazzy instrumental blends make for an album
that is just as easy to study and concentrate on as it is to use as an
aid for zoning out. Clinical Indifference is skillfully and
creatively put together. It is a largely instrumental album, for those
that don’t already know or wouldn’t expect it.
It’s well produced with great definition and clarity."
---Baron, Shakefire.com
"Infradig’s Gravel Tooth
EP briefly hinted at their transformation from everybody’s
favorite noodle dance house band to the swingingest electronica quartet
this side of the Mississippi. With their full-length, bookended
“double EP” Clinical Indifference/The
Psychology of Breathing, the transformation is complete." ---Bill
Colrus, Chattanooga Pulse
"Crafted with the utmost attention to detail and a
production value that rivals many major label records, Clinical
Indifference is sure to become Infradig's first true opus."
---Bryan Rodgers, Homegrown Music Network

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.

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.

From
Meniscus Magazine...
How
do you describe a band whose talent is so diverse that they can
change from techno, to jazz, to funk, to raw rock n’ roll,
back
into
drum-n-
bass cycles all in a single CD track? Infradig.
On Infradig’s
latest CD Kinetic
Transfer they infuse every track with
originality,
technical musicianship, and emotion. This band from
Chattanooga, Tennessee
encompasses the sound of so many
bands and
musicians
past, that they have created their own sound for the present.
Infradig
have
the patience to lead the listener into a song. This
endurance allows each track on Kinetic Transfer to build into a musical
masterpiece.
Every track is technically composed. The repetitions
intertwine,
and
commingle together in a developed web of sound. The
breaks
are beautifully timed as all four musicians bend and twist through
songs
together.
