magnet magazine had this to say about infantree:
"This four-piece band from California with groundbreaking ideas and the ability to not be subjected to a single genre should cause a pleasant uproar, especially with single 'Speak Up.' The song opens with a definite folk melody and effortlessly blends into a complex blues rhythm. Infantree incorporates swinging, mellow vocals that are comparable to Tom Waits…and a Santana influence throughout the EP."
here's how the band describes themselves:
Trees are carbon dioxide reducing, erosion preventing, oxygen producing, majestic, and sturdy life-forms that grow with their environment - not in spite of it (like industrial-age humans). Infantree is a symbol for growth. Whether it be intellectual, spiritual, physical, or emotional; growth is growth. If left unchecked, exponential growth could devour prosperity as we know it. Only when it's applied within a means does growth reach it's true potential of ceaseless sustanability. Infantree applies this method by way of harmony, like-mindedness, and an articulation of each indvidual's role/capacity as a musician/human-being. At the same time the use of childlike reckless abandon seems key to wading through the water-mark left by the mainstream mindset. This dynamic has helped the members of Infantree to spread their roots as friends while simultaneously growing as a band.
