Ever since major label execs realized they could use Passion Pit and M83 to sell Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supremes and men's body wash, the "synth pop" playing field has been tough terrain. Enter Infinity Shred, whose forthcoming sophomore LP, Sanctuary, is a mature, emotional trek through robust and varied song construction—a far cry from the asshats with the MiniKorgs gunning for a spot on a university football game half-time playlist.Sanctuary comes out September 10th on OK Go's Paracadute label, but we've got the full stream for you until them. And if you're out and about in NYC tonight but desperately trying to avoid taking a stiletto straight to the eyeball, come out to Infinity Shred's record release party at 285 Kent!
