Dylan Von Wagner, lead singer of newcomers Linfinity, has one of those voices - a croon so distinctive and vibrant it just about demands your undivided attention. His vocals bring to mind Antony Hegarty at times and The Mimicking Birds (also new to the scene this year) at others, but there's really nothing just like it, and it sets Linfinity's debut, Martian's Bloom, apart. The band, now several years in the making, has released a striking first effort, a genuinely interesting album that slides smoothly between styles and approaches while still establishing an identifiable sound for the band. [...]

This four piece multi-instrumental outfit fuses Gypsy, Greek, Slavic, and Mariachi influences with American punk and folk roots. On April 27th, Linfinity will release Martian's Bloom , a melodramatic and gloriously energetic record that showcases front man Dylan Von Wagner's lyrical prowess and the band's experimental journey. Tracks like Seasaw Love touches on a plangent note of sorrow before the violins caper off into a heady dance-an example of typical Country style, but with new melodies. Molly Mar of Rome urges a bit more deep breathing; this time the keyboard soothes atop a [...]

New York, NY "MSG" Linfinity on MySpace Linfinity on The Hype Machine
It's going to be a busy spring for NYC band Linfinity. On April 27th they release their debut full length album Maritan's Bloom. Following that they hit the road for an opening slot for Murder By Death. From what I've heard this is definitely a band you'll want to keep your ears open for. Here's a look at the track list for the record: Southern Belle Holy Rain Martian's Bloom Choo Choo Train

Según la Enciclopedia Británica (por fin no tenemos que citar a Wikipedia) el MSG o glutamato monosódico es un aditivo que resalta el sabor de las comidas. Ñam, ñam... Los gringos le tienen pavor al MSG, en especial en la comida china. No entiendo, pues por lo general en la comida china temo más encontrarme una cucaracha o pedazos de rata, o de niño perdido. En fin, ojalá no hayan almorzado comida china. Los neoyorkinos Linfinity hoy traen MSG, pero frescos que es del bueno. Y [...]

Using elements of punk, alt-county and classic Americana, Murder By Death has created a solid resume of creepy party music with plenty of cello. Though dark, they drift more towards a True Blood- sound than a Twilight- sound, always seeming like good country boys at heart. They even used a location in the Great Smokey Mountains to record their fifth full-length , Good Morning, Magpie . But these Bloomington, Indiana natives have set their aim beyond cult and local followings, and will launch a giant tour to support Magpie 's April 6th release. [...]

The NYC-based quintet are ready for American to get to know Martian's Bloom.

all kinda straightforward and simple on todays weekend randoms. not gonna be flipping from harsh noise to minimalist electronics to befuddled jazz no sir, not today. just gonna indulge in some good old fashioned songwriting. y'dig. see despite the amount of sonic mulch that passes through these ears and these pages, my most listened to record is still neutral milk hotel's in the aeroplane over the sea. as kranky's joel leoschke said: it's all organized sound whether it's a string quartet, a single static drone, or van halen. and so [...]

Though Linfinity have certainly made in-roads with the New York City scene, the band have never gone out on an official North American tour before. Well, all that is about to change starting at the end of March when the band take to the road with none other than Murder by Death .

Check out the full list of tour dates after the jump, which includes several New York City shows--March 11 at Mercury Lounge (without Murder by Death), May 2 [...]
