Over the course of two previous Under the Covers collections, the quirky New York comedy rocker duo
Ninja Sex Party have faithfully re-created an array of pop and rock hits of the 1970s and '80s. Released in 2019, their third edition of the series sees them putting their stamp on yet another batch of well-known songs ranging from rock cuts like
Def Leppard's "Photograph" and
Rush's "Closer to the Heart" to
Peter Cetera's power ballad "Glory of Love" and the
Bee Gees' disco hit "Nights on Broadway." As on their earlier collections,
Ninja Sex Party adhere closely to the original arrangements, offering up a set of honest and unironic covers that reveals the band's strong musicianship and studiocraft. ~ Timothy Monger
