Some where in the pursuit of perfection and time immortal we find a wrinkle and warp zone within the continuum. The clocks strike the chimes with their brass hammers, creating a rippling wave of harmonic resonance as their weights and bronze chains send forth the signals of signatures that mark our measures of how we judge the extents of our existence. Somewhere within this conjured up construct is a loophole that breaks the boundary line between the finite and the eternal in ongoing expressions and ecstasy that that are propelled beyond the borders of conventional chronological cartography. It is the idea that maybe there is something more than this, or maybe this is all there is, but regardless what if there is some way to pierce the frail veil of this dimension toward something beyond the known. The mythological beyond, the beyond, the beyond….

Cue rising popstar Liska who unleashes the ecstatic extents of perpetual indulgence and serotonin per semper with “Infinity”. Alias Annelise Steele, a multidisciplinary artist based out of Chicago, announces the follow up to Le Boom with the anticipated It Girl EP that pushes the parameters of what maximalism can be. Drawing from the playbooks of debutantes and matriarchs that have rocked the systems, ruled the scenes and laid the golden cobblestones of yellow brick roads toward the emanating light of immortal stardom — Liska is fusing together a fashion of sound, sentiment, sensibility and style of ethereality in perpetuity. Beyond channeling every icon of the 80s and 90s who ever dared to shatter the champagne glasses in the VIP room of every boy’s club imaginable, Liska embodies an entity that has broken through the trappings of the mortal coil, inhabiting a world without end.

Entertaining a life everlasting, Liska imagines a utopia that stretches beyond the gates of imagination. “Infinity” is more than just an evocation of immortality unbound but rather one of the best songs to grace 2023. Like the apostles and vanguards of dizzying dream arts prior, Liska elaborates on the blueprints and visions of the alternative / college radio titans of yesteryears with nods to fellow contemporaries while forging creative constructs that lean into the ineffable feelings of something that resembles the concept of what a wonderful forever could possibly be.

Complimented by a video from the legendary Someoddpilot Studios, Liska becomes an angelic entity beaming radiant beams of celestial light. Materializing from the worlds of the unknown, the artist walks through the lush green valleys, forests and thickets in a spiritual communion with nature. The pagan ritualistic pageantry that aligns with the heavenly haze of “Infinity” steps between two worlds, where spiraling pupils connect with an aura of rouge that rips through the forestal sanctuary from places that defies the schools of logic and reason. Inter-dimensional effects adds to Liska’s orchestration of arts that bridge the liminal divide between the worlds of our familiar and the infinite extents of everything that we don’t understand that lies beyond the threshold of human comprehension. “Infinity” rides high on the urgency and evocations of now and the miraculous mystery of always.

Liska shared some privy insights about the conceptualization and more that informed “Infinity”:

I got the idea for the chorus your eyes are infinity while watching the Netflix documentary A Trip to Infinity. There was a segment of the documentary where they explain the concept of infinity as a never ending circle, moving away then feeding back into itself endlessly.

They were using an eyeball to demonstrate this circle and I thought to myself, oh my god, your eyes are infinity. Then I was like, that would be such a romantic song. Thus, “Infinity” was born.

Liska’s It Girl EP arrives November 3.
