The band’s new offering brings their sound up to date, with its synth-pop melody and contemporary beats an evolution from their original spiky guitar pop style. 

Of the album, featuring the singles Glitter Ball and Mascara Streakz, Retro Pop said: “Clare and co. excel in modernising their signature sound while remaining faithful to their roots, for a set that blends perfectly with the group’s classic output and holds the essence of Altered Images close to its heart. ”

‘Mascara Streakz’ is available now.
