—————————————————————————————

This album has really been a decade in the making. Obviously Sarah Fimm hasn’t spent the last ten years writing for Near Infinite Possibility, but every previous release has been building to this. Each album has slowly saw Sarah’s songwriting skills increase and her reliance on electronics and sparse compositions fade. They have been little snapshots in time — displaying her gradual inclusion of additional instruments and guest musicians. This progress seemed to culminate with Red Yellow Sun in 2009, but apparently it was but another stepping stone.

Near Infinite Possibility sounds full and varied as it picks up where Red Yellow Sun left off and leaps forward another ten steps. It is a mixture of 70s psychedelic rock, alt. rock, moments of prog and elements of folk. It is a moody album that is sometimes dark and sometimes strange, but always excellent.

Another excellent release.

Blindsided
04.28.11
You two must be well aquainted for us to get all these perks.

Willie
04.28.11
I don't actually know her. It's called networking... or something.

Blindsided
04.28.11
Or something is something cool, will listen to.

lancebramsay
04.28.11
fuck. well there is a spelling error...

Willie
04.28.11
Thanks. It turns out that the entire sentence was a train wreck.

Tyrael
04.28.11
Not really my thing but nice work Willie.

Aids
04.28.11
whaaaaat? we got her exclusive album stream? go sputnik. Fuck I love this place.

oh yah and Sarah Fimm rules so fucking hard. Gonna give this a listen tomorrow.

Aids
04.28.11
yeah nevermind, listening to this now

Willie
04.28.11
Couldn't wait until later? ;)

fimmlove
04.28.11
I am right here guys.
I checked over every musician's name about 200 times, so if someone found a spelling error, please do tell me. I will wholeheartedly admit I am extremely flawed, and if you don't tell me about it, I may not sleep!

Thank you so much for doing this Trey. Just so you know, it's not really just about networking the way I see it. It is far more extraordinary than that. I see for some time now, you have made it a point to take an enthusiastic interest in new music, and in helping artists to be heard. Musicians need all the help they can get now from the fans in gaining visibility for that music. There is no system, and there is no money. Independent artists are inventing it as we go along. I cannot begin to explain my gratefulness to you, and I am so much looking forward to this week.

I love this site, and I love how all of you use filthy words too. from the mountain, Sarah

Aids

"Couldn't wait until later? ;)"

was gonna listen to something else instead but decided I was really in the mood for some Fimm. It was awesome, I didn't expect 'Everything Becomes Whole' to be part of this album; that was one of my favourite tracks from the Karma Phala compilation...or whatever it was

fimmlove
04.28.11
Haha! I found the spelling errors and it's only 6:41 am...they are not on the final art. This is an older version of the credits. We will try to fix today! Forward MARCH!

Aids
04.28.11
oh wow that's actually Sarah. You are incredible; your music is other-worldly.

Willie
04.28.11
Yeah, she put a few songs from this album on the Karma Phala Project as kind of a taste of things to come.

@Sarah: I agree with what you're saying about independent artists, and this site is pretty big on bringing attention to those kinds of artists. Plus, you've gained quite the following at this site ever since the White Birds EP. Ha ha, yeah, the user base here definitely knows how to throw in the dirty words ;)

Sanders
04.28.11
Sarah, this site was the reason I came across your music, so it makes it worth putting up with all the foul-mouthed comments! I shall be picking this up on the day of its release, you have an abundance of talent :)

fimmlove
04.28.11
Sanders thank you so much! It means so much I can't even tell you. You guys are wonderful and I just love this! I am on fire this morning and it's pouring rain. So much to be done....two little hands...! I will be checking back often, I appear to have an internet addiction...;)

Sanders
04.28.11
Haha no worries, you're welcome :) the Sputnik addiction is the main reason why I'm currently here and not studying...it could be a career destroyer.

hdsander
04.28.11
Wow! This is instantly my favorite album by Sarah Fimm.

Aids
04.28.11
"I appear to have an internet addiction...;)"

welcome to the club. we meet monday-sunday.

Gyromania

I am really digging this.

Sanders

Or, alternatively, any day ending in -Y.

Oblivioncry
04.28.11
good lord, the album's awesome. thx for the stream

Oblivioncry
04.28.11
the "your secret eyes" part of the first song is playing over and over in my head.

XulOnerom
04.28.11
Please tell me there will be a physical CD release of this

fimmlove
04.28.11
May 5th I should have the physical copies available. The best way to be sure to stay in touch is to go to http://www.sarahfimm.com and sign up there, and if you prefer you can also go to http://www.facebook.com/sarahfimm - It's so important to stay in touch in all respects....Notice those spelling errors are all fixed! Trey rules.

XulOnerom
04.28.11
Cool. I don't really like buying mp3s but I really want a copy of this

fimmlove
04.28.11
I swear it will be done.

XulOnerom
04.28.11
Awesome, really looking forward to it

Willie
04.28.11
--Notice those spelling errors are all fixed!--

Yep, I'm on it with a quickness ;)

Willie
04.28.11
--Wow, exclusive album stream? Nice. How'd you rate this, Trey?--

4.5 -- should have the reasoning (i.e. review) posted this weekend. I got behind.

--The new video for 'Yellow' is here if you guys would like a look! --

You think that we didn't post that here too??? Of course we did ;)

Yep, this is outstanding. Might like this better than Nexus, in time. What a consistent artist.

MO
04.28.11
Terrified is a really great tune. Cheer Fimm.

Wolfhorde
04.28.11
I'm surprised that an artist is looking into things on a internet site. Except of the stream being a bit slow for me it seems pretty good.

DavidBaron
04.28.11
Wow! Thanks to Sputnik for this. I am over joyed that they included the complete credits. It's very unusual and very appreciated.

someguest
04.28.11
Most of us appreciate the work that goes into making an album. You guys do a great job.

acorncheese

FelixCulpa

Not my cup of tea, but cool to see sputnik sporting an exclusive stream again, been a while. Although I must say I do enjoy the vocals on this.

No problem! Good job on this album, by the way.

--willie you should get her to do a live chat like 3 did a while back--

Were you a part of that? How did it turn out?

lancebramsay
04.29.11
Hey Sarah, would you marry me? Or whatever equivalent the mountain folk have... This is fantastic.

Willie
04.29.11
I think people in the mountains get married too. I'm pretty sure that tradition has been around for a long time ;)

Hewitt
04.29.11
I am here to profess my love for Sarah and say that I'm looking forward to listening to this later tonight.

I bought it. I listened to it. I liked it. I got it on MP3 though, since the only physical albums I buy are vinyls. Thanks again for putting up an album stream.

Willie
05.06.11
It's an excellent album, so it's not a problem at all. I love that she 'almost' cussed.

shortz
05.09.11
Ugh, finally getting around to listening to this. As usual it's so effin' good, instantly fell in love with "Everything Becomes Whole" (that's not to say I didn't fall in love with the rest of songs..)

Spec
05.10.11
I love these listening parties.
