Press Reviews 'Infinity' an electro-pop journey "from infinity to oblivion" appears to be not only the title of strangedays' new ep, it is also apparently this band's mission statement. through the six rich, sonically layered "electronic-alterna-pop" tunes found here, the band successfully brings the listener on a journey that spans the vast emotional landscape of dysfunctional relationships and social alienation, a feat accomplished with the sort of style and savvy similarly found in the music of garbage or depeche mode. despite confining itself to pop oriented song structures, strangedays displays tremendous adeptness at milking dynamics and creating hypnotic sound tapestries through its songs. this is most evident in the standout cut, "a new beginning," which successfully melds warped guitar signals, synthesizer passages and deliciously catchy vocal melodies. when the singer proclaims that, "one day we shall see ourselves for who we really are," it is done with such sincerity that listeners may be tempted to send greeting cards to help cheer the band from whatever it is that appears to be causing them such melancholy. then again, such melancholy appears to have brought out an impressive body of work from this outfit. the release, alas, is not spotless; there are a couple of places on "from infinity to oblivion" where the vocal delivery sounds a little weak. however, such occurrences are few and far between and do not distract from its overall value.-review taken from the michigan daily-
