Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by composer James Grigsby, the Californian ensemble weaves intricate chamber-rock arrangements with a distinctly eccentric, avant-garde sensibility. 'Infra Dig' navigates rapid instrumental shifts, blending classical instrumentation with angular rock rhythms. The album firmly places the group at the forefront of the 1980s American avant-prog scene.
