A big improvement on their debut cassette, this Lon­don-based team take in a lot of mainstream influences but retain a quirky individuality. Their strengths are some above-average programming and a lead vocalist who, with his mannered Englishness, shows hints of Morrisey and a dozen more, yet always seems to find the right laconic mood. Weakness is that over the length of an album that voice starts to wear, particu­larly while questionable pitching spoils enjoyment too. But the danceable title track and the poignant "Too Good To Be True" definitely demonstrate a band work­ing their way steadily towards the 'proper' album deal
