Our Take

When it comes to 80s pop whimsy, Alterer Images' Mascara Streakzin is as flamboyant as a neon leotard at an aerobics class. Fronted by the always enchanting Clare Grogan, this album is a delightful concoction of catchy hooks, cheeky lyrics, and infectious energy.

From the moment the opening track "Love and Kisses" kicks in with its bouncy rhythm and Grogan's sweet vocals, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's signature blend of new wave and post-punk is in full force here, with tracks like "I Could Be Happy" and "Dead Pop Stars" showcasing their knack for crafting irresistible earworms.

But it's not all frothy fun and danceable beats. There's a depth to Mascara Streakzin that reveals itself upon closer listening. Songs like "Real Toys" and "A Day's Wait" hint at darker themes beneath the shimmering surface, adding a layer of complexity to the album's sunny façade.

Overall, Mascara Streakzin is a gem of 80s pop perfection. It's a Technicolor dreamcoat of an album that will have you dancing in your bedroom and pondering life's big questions in equal measure. So go ahead, grab your hairbrush microphone, smear on some mascara, and let Alterer Images transport you to a world of pure, unadulterated fun.
