Lori Meyers: “Staying in existence is already a challenge, but there’s still ‘everything’ on hold.”

How have the intervening years affected the band? What did you improve?

I think it is moving in a positive direction. We have always tried to become better musicians and composers. Learning our craft every day has moved us forward.

Has it always been fun all these years? Is it still like this today or only sometimes?

The balance was clearly positive. And yes, we continue to enjoy music and live performances very much, but like any job, there are not-so-pleasant things or moments.

Does Infinite Spaces acknowledge the past and project itself into the future?

We’ve always thought about taking an evolutionary leap with every album, but with the foundation and characteristics we have, we look back to know where we came from, but we project into the future and try not to stagnate.

What was your experience with James Bagshaw? He’s younger than you, isn’t he?

Yes, it was a really nice and productive experience even though we worked remotely due to pandemic restrictions. And his youth made us leave our comfort zone on some of the songs – to give them a more current vision – so great.

Punk seemed to me to be an irresistible song, open to double reading.

This is both an accurate reading and a self-criticism about ourselves.

Do you feel, or have you felt lately, that you are a spokesperson for general discontent? I say this because of some of your recent lyrics…

Discontent is in society. We are not making protest songs. We try to talk about love in all areas, worldly and immediate concerns in a normal way.

“Saying ‘I love you’ every day is a revolution,” one of the lyrics says. Like this?

This is especially so considering that we live in an increasingly dehumanizing and soulless society. What do we have left if it is not the unity of the people we love?

What are your plans after this album? Are you planning to release an album soon? Do you already have songs for a new album?

We are working on new songs, there is material because the composition and musical moment of the group is magnificent; We are sweet! Therefore, we do not take into account long-term composition breaks as in other cases.

You continue to star in posters of important festivals. What is the secret to maintaining the same success (especially in indie, where competition is increasing)?

I don’t think there is such a secret. I think the key to making our concerts so special and different from others is wanting to improve and do good, as well as having a great body of work behind it.

You said it was sweet, is this Lori Meyers’ best moment?

We feel pretty good. It’s not easy to accumulate records and continue to be at the top. We are aware that we must not let our guard down when it comes to creativity or touring; You have to make a lot of demands on yourself, and in a way that puts it on us as well.

You usually end the concerts with High Fidelity. Thanking the public?

It turned from custom to tradition. High fidelity meets most of the criteria for finishing a concert on the best note. It’s a very intense song with a devastating edge and people are making it their own. They are people who make timeless songs. In a way, this could be a thank you.

Twenty years later, do you still feel like your concerts are like dates?

If we lose this feeling, things will be bad for us. Recognizing desire and enthusiasm, as well as nerves and insecurity, is vital to believing and feeling things. That’s what it’s about.

Lori Meyers, are you a passionate group? Will music save us?

I believe that loving your job passionately is one of the things that can make a difference for you. If we did some things out of inertia, it wouldn’t be the same. For us, music goes beyond saving us, it adds meaning to the life it brings to us.

Do you have any big challenges ahead?

In today’s world, every album is a challenge, every year in a band’s career is a challenge, every concert is a challenge. Sustaining existence is a challenge. Still ‘everything’ is on hold.
