Infinite Moment is the sixth studio album by Swedish electronic music producer and DJ Axel Willner, under his moniker The Field. It was released on 21 September 2018, by Kompakt.[8]

Release[]

On 25 July 2018, Willner announced the release of his sixth studio album.[8] In a press release of the album, Willner explained the release:

"Hope is something I've been missing in the nowadays climate and this album is a relief to me, a type of comfort, like a moment that feels good and you don't want to end."[9]

The first track to be released, "Who Goes There", was announced on 14 August 2018.[10]

Tour[]

In support of the album, Willner announced a North American tour of six dates for October 2018.[10]

Critical reception[]

Infinite Moment was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 80 based on 10 reviews.[3] Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 77 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 10 reviews.[1]

Fred Thomas of AllMusic explained: "With one eight-minute exception, the six tracks here stretch out past the ten-minute mark, building so incrementally that their subtle drifting takes on an almost ambient quality. The perpetually unraveling nature of Infinite Moment results in a perfectly paced listening experience that's almost impossible not to get lost in."[2] Daniel Sylvester from Exclaim! gave a rave review for the release, saying "On Infinite Moment, the Field proves that he's such a master of his craft that he can generate the same excitement from briefly moving outside the box as he can revelling back inside it."[4]
