Infinite Joy is the second extended play by American indie rock band Bad Suns. It was released on November 17, 2023, by Epitaph Records. It is the band's first time making music in over a year following the release of 2022's Apocalypse Whenever (2022).
Background
Infinite Joy was announced simultaneously with the release of the promotional single "Living or Dying" on November 2, 2023. In a press release, Bad Suns frontman Christo Bowman stated that the songs on the EP were a reflection of "an oceanic scope of emotions which colored the last year of my life", specifically citing his battle with alcohol abuse and subsequently becoming clean in October 2022, self-describing the aftermath as him "experiencing an entire ten years' worth of growth" within "a matter of months".{{cite web |last1=Records |first1=Epitaph |title=Bad Suns Announce New Project ‘Infinite Joy’ Out Nov. 17th |url=https://www.epitaph.com/news/article/bad-suns-announce-new-project-infinite-joy-out-nov-17th |website=Epitaph Records |access-date=November 16, 2023 |language=en |date=November 2, 2023}}
