Infinity is a task of a record, if I'm being real here. Just sitting down and honestly, thoroughly listening to a track of this scope is a bit difficult for me, which is weird considering how much I love harsh noise. There is just something about the pace of Jesu's music, which is heartbreaking as it is at the same time enormously uplifting, that results in me only being able to ingest it whilst in certain moods. Whilst aligned and receptive to the barrage of bittersweet emotions and frequencies that the transcendent Jesu project can deliver, then there is nothing else like it.
A balance is struck between abstract heavyness and the beauty of fragility; the aural equivalent of a crystal chandelier falling from the ceiling, hitting the floor and shattering into a thousand pieces, only it takes 50 or so minutes to actually happen and is told through the medium of introverted, shoegazing post rock. Truly, this is magical.
