INTRODUCING: The Infants

The Infants are a post-punk group formed in Geelong in 2012. They put out a self-titled album mid-last year – complete with creepy, cephalopod-based art work – that sounds tightly wound in comparison to the new, creeping single, ‘Halves’.

The track was recorded in the basement of the band’s current home in Brunswick, and the result is the sort of ghoulish, lurching stuff that wouldn’t sound out of place on the score of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It’s a kind of gothic pop, or macabre cabaret – like Bushwalking getting a carnivale makeover.

‘Halves’ is the first release from the Infants’ forthcoming EP, due out later this year.
