bcb723 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. Favorite track: Awoken.

Ryukisai The first time i played this EP, Awoken left me totally stunned. Two years later, it still does. Be warned, that record will carve itself into your soul. Favorite track: Awoken.

Emi easily the best material they've created thus far. watching it come to fruition over the past year or so has been such a blessing and i'm so proud of these guys. Favorite track: Awoken.

Burrow 02:30
Truly unsettled, I alone withhold a form or shadow. Feast of flesh and self, 'til limitless potential gratifies cold, yet fluid aberrations; swarming among a stream, infecting. Dissect to undo. Renewal of my grandest fears. Burrow a hollow frame, a home Burrow or swallow, an age forlorn Burrow a hollow fate, in stone True forms renewed within shadow. Futility to be fed on a shell called life. An etched scar to be bled among timeless echoed blight, all to be resurfaced. Resurface, resurface, resurface. Still living, still waiting, still craving. More than their lies, more of the sky.

Unspoken 05:14
Daniel: Like cobwebbed lives Illusive signs Mangled cries Feel the fear all surround Decaying night Ungodly sight Unspoken light Feel nothing except their sounds Run Licking, tasting the blood What have we all become? It was always awake, unspeaking, observing, watching, unnerving, every hour to minute to every second of every day it lurked. Daniel: We always will be watching you Alex: The salt of the earth, will fill our lungs; nations drowned in the sea, our kingdom has come. Daniel: Skin unscathed, eyes well aware who we are. What we’ve become. Survival in vain. Fill our hunger, a fate unfeigned. The final hour has to turn. Your mind, your soul, a gift to yearn. An offering An absence Unwilted.

Awoken 09:59
Daniel: Will it end? My last will to withstand Only ruin Only sand Whispering a final count A final hour Alas, it is beyond you Outside of sense, or burden Calmly awaiting the aftermath of our own hell, what we’ve justified. Feasting upon our own guilt, til we’ve realized it’s their last dawn, their last song We’ve crystallized a failed excuse A regret Our worst fears, wilted through yellow air Our last years, wasted The children’s tears Unheard again No words are spoken Yet an iris always holds a gaze, awoken Til the memory unfolds I try to see a light Within flame Sunburnt destined Alex: we will fail and all that will be left is nothing if we fail nothing will be left but smoke the ends of the earth with crumble beneath our feet the seas will rise as we all fall into their reach Daniel: Suddenly I trust the calm to disperse Concerns compelling to rework The steps that I take every day To solidify or prioritize in a way I can't expel or explain All I want is change Within me Mirroring love lost fever dreams Timeless sanction Endure Riveting lightless shadow strings Within a sunken core.

about

"[Sepulcher] takes the band’s ambitions to extremes...capped off by 'Awoken,' the kind of stunning, 10-minute scorched-earth aerial view that every screamo band tries to make when they’re completely feeling themselves."
– Pitchfork

"Sepulcher is a real motherfucker of a record....Infant Island have a real sense of scope to their sound" – Stereogum

"I like all of Sepulcher a lot...and at this point in their career I feel very confident calling Infant Island a great band." – BrooklynVegan
