    Impending apocalypse aside, Infinite Summer still proves itself to be a record of substance.

    Whilst there are many other bands doing futuristic disco, many of which band members have worked with, NZCA Lines’ unrelenting quest for a great hook and massive chorus pushes them ahead of the pack.

    Infinite Summer is the classic case of an album that’s so fully-melded, so self-composed in its identity, that you get the nagging sense of déjà vu, that you’ve been here before, and yet it’s something brand new.

    Lyrically, the songs are often about longing and seemingly missed connections, but by creating such a rich and textured album, NZCA Lines connect strongly, expanding their sound and blossoming accordingly.

    A more immersive, majestic and ultimately engaging release than album one.

    If the album has a weakness it's that, for all its pop pretentions, it doesn't really have too many hooks. Its strength is not in delivering an immediate shot of aural adrenaline but rather in creating a dark, dramatic mood.

    Infinite Summer's sci-fi pop blossoms under headphones, but it doesn't always live up to the promise of NZCA Lines or its concept.

    Despite the familiarity, Infinite Summer has a heart, and could probably melt permafrost with a single playing. [Nov 2016, p.79]

    While this 12-track set clearly comes from a Hoxton state of mind, there’s a liberated imagination running riot here.

    Some suitably dramatic music. [Feb 2016, p.115]
