The trio cross swords once more for the latest release on Function’s Infrastructure New York label.

Dave Sumner’s Infrastructure New York will release a second record by the intriguing Australian artist.

It’s hard to know where fiction stops and fact starts on the latest release from Dave Sumner’s recently re-launched Infrastructure label. Allegedly the work of a twenty-something, Australian born violinist, who is now based in Berlin, Campbell Irvine’s backstory sounds like it has been well thought out. The fact that he has hardly any online presence – a Google search revealed a UK insurance brokerage of the same name – only arouses suspicion.

The classically trained musician will grace Function’s revived label with the Removal of the Six Armed Goddess EP.
In the time-slipping tendencies of modern music, it’s rare to find many artists pushing solely forwards without some nod to the past, whether stated or otherwise. So it is that Dave Sumner revives his dormant Infrastructure label, previously put on ice as Sandwell District ramped up its operations in the mid ’00s. Sumner has made it clear that in its second coming this label will be focused on “melding classic ideals with a modern viewpoint,” and it’s an interesting position to take for an artist that has spent years charging ahead without spelling out too literally what his intentions are. On listening to this first of the new wave of releases, produced alongside Ed Davenport in his burgeoning Inland guise, there is no masking the nostalgic glances that embody the music.
Function’s previously dormant label will return in May with a whole host of further releases planned.
