Our Take

Ah, welcome, dear readers, to the enchanting world of T.REX and their latest offering, "Bolan's Zip Gun" in all its sparkling glory on clear vinyl.

For those unacquainted with the glam-rock maestro, Marc Bolan, fear not, for this album is sure to dazzle and hypnotize you with its eclectic mix of funky beats and cosmic vibes. From the opening track, "Light Of Love," you'll find yourself transported to a psychedelic dream world where glitter reigns supreme.

Bolan's distinctive vocals soar effortlessly over the infectious grooves and luscious guitar riffs, creating a sonic landscape that is both playful and profound. Tracks like "Golden Belt" and "Til Dawn" showcase the band's ability to blend catchy melodies with avant-garde experimentation, leaving you utterly mesmerized.

But don't be fooled by the album's whimsical exterior, for beneath the surface lies a profound depth of emotion and introspection. "Zip Gun Boogie" and "Bitter Sweet Love" delve into themes of love, longing, and loss, reminding us that even in the midst of a glittering spectacle, there is always a hint of darkness lurking.

In conclusion, "Bolan's Zip Gun" is a triumphant return for T.REX, solidifying their status as pioneers of glam-rock and proving once again that Marc Bolan's legacy is as timeless as ever. This album is a must-have for any music lover looking to inject a bit of glam into their lives. So grab your platforms, dust off your feather boas, and get ready to dance the night away with T.REX at the helm. Cheers!

About the artist

T.Rex

T.REX is the brainchild of English singer-songwriter and glam rock pioneer, Marc Bolan. With his trademark curly hair, glittery outfits, and larger-than-life persona, Bolan became a cultural icon in the 1970s. Born Mark Feld in London in 1947, Bolan found early success as a member of the mod band John's Children before forming T.REX in 1967. The band's breakthrough came in 1970 with the release of their self-titled album, which featured the hit singles "Ride a White Swan" and "Metal Guru." Known for their catchy hooks, provocative lyrics, and electrifying live performances, T.REX quickly became one of the most popular acts of the glam rock era. Bolan's flamboyant stage presence and sizzling guitar riffs captivated audiences around the world, earning him a legion of devoted fans. Despite their commercial success, T.REX faced criticism from some music critics who dismissed them as mere purveyors of style over substance. However, their influence on the glam rock genre cannot be overstated, with artists ranging from David Bowie to Iggy Pop citing Bolan as a major inspiration. Tragically, Bolan's life was cut short in 1977 when he was killed in a car accident at the age of 29. But his legacy lives on through T.REX's music, which continues to inspire new generations of fans and musicians alike. With their anthemic rock anthems and infectious glam energy, T.REX remains a timeless and essential part of the music landscape.
