Made of wanting, solely, I'm used to - it's easy, look at what we gain. Sorta holding on loose ever so slightly, fingers feeling rain. And if it's... See the rest of the song lyrics

    Some might consider it messy, and the old adage is, life is messy; well, the latter is true, which lends it its exhilarating beauty.

    It’s welcoming, but it’s weird, this band. It’s got the sound of practice, especially in the rhythm section.

    Though neat and compact at under 40 minutes, Infinite House is as multilayered and pleasantly bewildering as the house where it was recorded.
