"Urgent even at its sludgiest tempos, the Fredericksburg, Virginia band’s second album draws on a bleak palette to create illusions of infinite depth and vastness." - Pitchfork "Infant Island’s version of screamo is raw and ambitious and hypnotic, and I really don’t think there’s anyone better in the genre right now." - Stereogum "Screamo scraped from the blackened and burnt chasm. The metallic chaos of Majority Rule and post-rock underpinnings of Envy are touchstones here, but noise overwhelms Infant Island's ugly beauty in tracks that bleed tributaries into a rushing river." - Viking's Choice / NPR "Beneath is a capital-A Album that ebbs and flows like one long song cycle. It’s the best thing Infant Island have released by a mile and it’s one of the most stunning albums to come out of the whole recent screamo revival yet." - BrooklynVegan "Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound." - Bandcamp Daily
