Any of the clichés about Scandinavian countries is that they are neat and tidy, well ordered, clean. The same could not be said of Copenhagen four-piece When Saints Go Machine's second full-length album, Infinity Pool. The opposite, in fact. It's a record born out of an atmosphere of chaos. It's harder, darker and more synthetic than it's predecessors. It opens with 'Love And Respect', which features a guest vocal from Grammy award winning rap artist Killer Mike, who freewheels over chugging, synth-drenched beat. Elsewhere, 'Dead Boy' sees Vonsild's tremulous falsetto digitized and then floated over a semi-ambient sounds- cape, while 'Infinity Killer' pitches skittering sound effects against a low-end drone.
