The Infinity Chamber, the project of Dylan Paul Ware, release new single ‘Toxins’ on 5 June, with the video already out. It’s a lush, hard-to-pin-down piece that drifts between psychedelic rock, folk melancholy, orchestral texture and hypnotic minimalism.
Thematically, it draws on the mythology and toxicology of night-blooming plants, the ones tied through history to delirium, visions, witchcraft, medicine and death. Rather than a cautionary tale, it plays out like an inward hallucination, where repetition becomes incantation and identity dissolves into landscape before reforming again. Gentle and unsettling in equal measure.
The new single is wild, something different, and the video adds more thought-provoking intrigue, worth a watch. It’s a track that takes on a few rather sad emotions, but keep listening, because the guitars provide a little hope before things stay very firmly put in the intended emotion and vibe. We have a soft spot for music that refuses to sit neatly in a genre box, and ‘Toxins’ does exactly that.
