Infinity is the twelfth studio album by German indie rock - band Tocotronic that at the January 26, 2018 Vertigo Records has been published. It followed the album Tocotronic and contains twelve songs, which are arranged chronologically according to biographical scenes of the singer Dirk von Lowtzow . The idea for the very personal orientation of the album came from the band members and the producer Moses Schneider. According to bassist Jan Müller, however, care was taken not to “be distant, harassing or even pornographic”.

In terms of content, the songs refer to the experiences of Dirk von Lowtzow during his childhood and youth in the Black Forest and Freiburg in the 80s and 90s, his move to Hamburg in 1993 and the later time in Berlin until today.
