Infinite Bisous

Infinite Bisous is the primary creative outlet for Rory McCarthy, a highly sought-after multi-instrumentalist whose fingerprints are all over the modern indie landscape. Having collaborated extensively with Connan Mockasin, Mac DeMarco, and Metronomy, McCarthy brings a session musician's precision to a project that intentionally sounds unpolished and fragile.

His sound identity is defined by 'hypnagogic pop' tropes: heavy use of tape saturation, pitch-shifting vibrato on guitars, and a lo-fi aesthetic that evokes 1970s soft rock filtered through a broken VCR. Historically, he emerged during the mid-2010s boom of 'slacker rock,' yet his work is more electronic and experimental than his contemporaries, often incorporating field recordings and ambient textures. Critical consensus highlights his ability to create 'vibe-heavy' music that maintains emotional depth through minimalist songwriting. His career arc shows a move from more traditional indie-pop structures toward increasingly abstract and atmospheric compositions, solidifying his role as a key architect of the modern 'bedroom pop' sound.
