Alpha Male Tea Party – Infinity Stare

Alpha Male Tea Party, with their effervescent, sprightly buoyant riffs and droll onstage tomfoolery, have always had a reputation as the party animals of the math-rock scene. But what happens when the world stops and the realities of life and death come into sobering reality? What happens at the end of the night when everyone’s gone home and the party’s ended?

Infinity Stare, the 4th album under the tongue-in-cheek moniker, is the result of life’s trials and tribulations catching up on the band.  It’s an album borne out of loss, grief and acceptance, a realisation that as life goes on, things don’t get simpler, but rather more complicated.

Sometimes brimming with joy, sometimes laced with melancholy, sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet, Infinity Stare is the most dynamic, three-dimensional record the band have made to date.
