Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as a rapid follow-up to 'Aladdin Sane', 'Pinups' is a wonderfully playful, fiercely energetic collection of covers paying tribute to the mid-1960s London music scene. The album is a highly melodic, beautifully eclectic glam-rock romp, reimagining classic rhythm and blues hits with deeply passionate, delightfully quirky rock-and-roll swagger.
