Infinity Girl

Infinity Girl is a quintessential example of the 2010s shoegaze revival, blending the foundational aesthetics of My Bloody Valentine with a modern, restless energy. Formed in Boston's fertile underground scene before migrating to Brooklyn, the four-piece (Nolan Eley, Kyle Oppenheimer, Mitchell Stewart, and Sebastian Modak) established a sound defined by high-gain guitar saturation and submerged, melodic vocals.

Their 2012 debut, 'Stop Being On My Side', was a reverent nod to classic shoegaze, but by the release of 'Harm' in 2015 on Topshelf Records, they had integrated darker post-punk influences and a more aggressive approach to noise. Critically, they are noted for their technical proficiency in the studio, often utilizing Eley's production skills to create dense, layered arrangements that maintain clarity despite extreme distortion. Their work sits comfortably alongside peers like Young Prisms and Animal Ghosts, contributing to a movement that prioritized emotional weight and sonic intensity over the more passive 'chillwave' trends of the era. The band's evolution reflects a shift from pure genre-worship toward a more idiosyncratic, experimental pop form.
