Background

Infinity Drips shares its name with a piece of artwork created by Omar's longtime artistic collaborator Sonny Kay. It appeared in the booklet for the compilation album Telesterion, so it was assumed that the piece would become cover art for a future release by Rodriguez-Lopez. The album however features a different artwork.

The album has Middle Eastern aesthetic and diverse instrumentation. Teri Gender Bender talked about the album in an interview with The Seventh Hex regarding Bosnian Rainbows in 2015: "This is inspired by the work and motivation of Omar, to try new things and to explore the endless possibilities that one can do with sampling. Since I am blessed to be surrounded by many, many composers, writers, engineers it would be foolish of me not to try and learn something from it all. My mother loves Indian music, so when I was little I had the fortune of being in an environment of spices and Middle Eastern music. Omar and I worked on an album where it’s just Indian [sic] music, samples turned into neatly crafted hymns with some Spanish lyrics, some others are English lyrics… At the end of the day it’s always great to try new things for one self. Who knows, maybe someday we’ll release it."
