Before Infinity Song had a name, a catalog, or an audience, the Boyd siblings shared a language. Music coursed through their Detroit home, where their father directed choirs and faith provided another connection, so singing together felt less like a career decision and more like an extension of family life. It’s a language in our family.
Faith and music [are] the two common denominators.” Their father’s choirs gave the siblings an early education in blend and discipline, while the home itself turned music into “something we find joy and safety in.” The foundation was exacting and expansive. Abraham described “the trifecta: classical, jazz and gospel,” with soul following close behind; because those traditions shaped the siblings’ instincts early, their layered harmonies carry both technical precision and the ease of people who have spent a lifetime listening to one another. Israel Boyd compared the connection to the memories any siblings accumulate—“a childhood home” or “a route they took to school every day”—although music became one of Infinity Song’s deepest points of reference.
Shared history does not erase individual taste, and the band’s creative process depends on making room for conversation without allowing it to halt the work. Abraham said their father, who also manages the group, helped them recognize a crucial distinction: “Agreement is not the goal. Understanding is the goal.” “Everybody has their own perspective, worldview and their own way they would like to do things,” Abraham said, adding that each sibling must operate with the assumption the others know what they are doing.
Since Momo, Angel, Israel and Abraham each encounter life differently, the group seeks a workable understanding, even when consensus remains out of reach. Deadlines sometimes break the tie, yet craft remains the collective standard. When time permits, however, the siblings keep refining because, as Angel put it, “We all want to make good music, the best music we possibly can.” Conviction also carries weight, and each member can defend an idea while remaining open to improvement.
Sometimes debate stretches on; sometimes everyone hears the same finished song at once. It doesn’t need to change,’” Angel said. Following a season of discovery, Infinity Song chose its own name for its fourth album, released June 12, because the title could hold both certainty and continued evolution.
The record arrived after the singles “One Foot Out” and “Hurricane,” extending the group’s blend of choral harmonies, soft-rock warmth and rhythmic polish. We have more growing to do.” Even so, the title announces confidence: “It’s a statement. It’s not a question.” For a band still widening its sound, the words Infinity Song function as a declaration of presence: “We’re not asking if we belong.
