Infadels Girl...

A beautiful, shimmery, summery song (yes I know it's October - look at it as a retrospective, looking back fondly on those heady days of summer...) which encapsulates that warm, cosy, feeling you get when looking back on a Good Night Out. Bnann croons his way through this song, and (live, you'll see it on the video if you buy the CD) by his every action (including timely grabbing at his jeans) betrays the fact that He Has Been There.

Rather than show another side to these Infadels, I'd say that this marks a fuzzy undefined area somewhere a bit away from their tendencies towards electro-indie-techno-rock BUT not so far as to lose those tags altogether. Electro usually lends itself better to a more cold sound, even with tender love songs (Kevin Keegan take note), but here it marries to the instruments and voices to imbue this song with pure warmth.

But that's not all you get. The B-Sides on this are something else; from the stomping re-working of the Raconteur's 'Steady As She Goes' to Mr B's wave-your-hands-in-the-air-and-clap-the-sun-doing-what-it-does-every-day-wooooo remix of the Infadels' own 'Love Like Semtex', this release oozes quality.
