"We're very excited to finally share our 2nd LP, 'As We Suffer From Memory & Imagination' in its entirety, with help from our great friends at Zegema Beach Records and Dog Knights Productions. Given the context of today’s date, as well as the events over the past few weeks, we'd like to take this opportunity to echo the many voices decrying the prolonged history of discrimination and violence towards Black people, as well as calling for the abolition of police all across the world. We'd like to express our solidarity with all victims of racialized violence throughout history at the hands of the police, state, and white supremacy, as well as with those out in the streets demonstrating in pursuit of a world that is anti-racist, anti-capitalist, and without police.
We feel that it is the duty of all artists, especially within our community of DIY musicians, social centers, and venues to utilize their platform, big or small, to bring awareness and accumulate resources towards this fight to the best of their ability. Therefore, we will be gathering all proceeds made from our portion of this pressing's physical sales, all digital sales and royalties, and any sales of shirts to be donated to TBD fund(s) assisting demonstrators with legal fees / supplies, as well as to organizations rendering mutual aid and community outreach. We plan on gathering donations on a weekly basis and then assessing the situation before doing our best to determine where the funds are needed the most. To further incentivize donations, we are selling a special edition of the vinyl release which will include a poster of the names of Black victims of police violence, designed and screen printed by us. This edition will be limited to 50, offered at $25 (with the option to pay more if possible), and will be personalized to discourage resale.
We'd like to thank Zegema Beach Records and Dog Knights Productions for pressing this record for us and all the help they've provided, Sean Leary for the art and design work, Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden for recording, mixing, and mastering, Joe Schmidt for booking our doomed europe tour, everyone who purchased any of the benefit shirts / purchased the singles (we were able to donate over $1k to various bail funds/orgs!), and anyone else who has supported us. We ask that the preceding statement be posted alongside any reviews of this album and in lieu of any interviews, thank you for understanding."

There is something purely authentic and honest about Infant Island's music. These songs are substantial in their impact that go deep under the surface. The sound mix is everywhere (track 3 on headphones?!?!) with some of the slower nuanced moments giving needed space for maximum effect when the violent intensity hits. But on career highlight "Awoken," they leave nothing behind. A must hear song from an increasingly important band. bcb723

In terms of darkness and extremity we have reached a point here. There is a lot going on during this record but the theme of just utter fucking ugliness permeates. Beautifully grotesque. Great record. popcornpoopturd
