Carhartt WIP Radio August 2025: Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals by Carhartt Work in Progress

This month Carhartt WIP Radio spotlights the collaborative work of composer @infinityknives & MC Brian Ennals, whose mixture of genre-defying production and uncompromising, irreverent lyrics has seen them gain a cult following since their 2020 debut, "Rhino XXL".

In 2022, the Baltimore-based duo released "King Cobra", an exhilarating project that explored the artists’ idiosyncratic styles through warped, 80s-style synths and folk-tinged melodies, punctuated by Ennals’ sharp, incendiary raps. The project culminated in a global tour, with the European leg supported by Carhartt WIP.

This April, Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals returned with "A City Drowned in God's Black Tears" on UK label Phantom Limb. Sonically and lyrically, the album advances their experimental approach, traversing glitchy electronics, psych-folk, doom metal, cumbia, and soul.

For this episode, the duo created a mix featuring numerous collaborative works, old and new. Alongside it is an interview with Ennals, who talks about being a misanthrope, the role of humor in his lyrics, and what made the new album so “acidic.” Listen to the mix and read an accompanying interview at www.carhartt-wip.com.
