(WALL OF SOUND)
The Infadels are this pop year's great success story. How can they fail to be? Their sophomore record has made a terrific fist of ripping off success stories of pop years passim. Opener 'Circus Of The Mad' is a charming homage to our friends in the north, The Zutons, while single 'Make Mistakes', the strongest thing on here, is a clear nod in the suspect direction of The Pigeon Detectives. From Maximo Park's 80s-style synths on 'Code 1' to the nauseatingly juvenile 'Chemical Girlfriend', the trouble is their apparent obsession with fitting into a scene. Perhaps pouring their definite talent into carving out their own niche reverse this dire universe for Infadels.
