Three albums in and this hirsute power trio are proving " i with newie Infinity Land that heavy music need not all be devil horns, face paint and chugga-chugga riffs. Their willingness to throw listeners with all manner of sonic twists and turns means they’re unlikely to do a ‘Strokes’ quite yet but the three-part harmonies and blissfully warm melodies they shunt into their textured rocking beast means at least one band are keeping things interesting for those of a

rockist persuasion. ' I Bill/()H'lt'llltf. (i/t'lfitjtll'r, luv 75? Out.
