Metropolitan Indian & RVNG Intl. present the
historics Infinidelity 12" series. Inspired by a short story of the same name by author
Chris Leo (
Feathers Like Leather,
57 Octaves Below...,
White Pigeons),
Infinidelity offers ten songs from historics late 2009 album debut,
Strategies For Apprehension, transformed by an assembly of artists from the outer ether of the electronic music world.
The
Infinidelity story is one of meditation within / without a relationship, wrapped in a transient prose that skirts comedic and tragic traditions.
Strategies For Apprehension deals in related subjects, those of bonds forged and broken, of ever-shifting alliances. In keeping with those themes, the conception and recording of the record were devoutly unfaithful to any rote route of standard-fare album construction. From those sessions were born enough boundless ideas to place in the hands of others, who in turn have created their own commentaries on and reinterpretations of the music.
The artwork, informed by Leo's story and spanning across the three 12"s, was created by artist
Mark McCoy. The intricate collages convey sanctity within immolation, sacrifice to nature's thorny embrace.
Kevin O'Neill at
Will Work For Good commanded the build & design of the packaging.
The first 12" features remixes from
Tom Croose,
SirBlly &
Creso,
Low Motion Disco, and
Pink Stallone. The second 12" features remixes from
Jackpot,
UFO!,
Allez-Allez, and
CFCF. The third 12" features remixes from
Leo Zero &
Andrew Allsgood. Each artist was given Leo's story and McCoy's artwork to allow cohesive exercises. The remixes of Infinidelity are as dark as they are light but ultimately serve to elevate the dance floor.
