"The lies proceed focused and ploddingly on their first album. THe genius of Underdogs and Infidels is The Lies ability to temper this gloom with a concise and unexpected lucidity. Dale Shaw sings, "Its strange, you still beleive your own legend. In time your youth cant last forever, you fall" on Wrong Kind of Flirt. Tracey Sawyer's minimal keyboard works exceptionally well with SAdie Shaw's winding guitar. The beautiful tindersticks-ish Aphelion is an especially nice surprise. My only complaint is that I want to hear the girls sing more. Maybe on the next record."
