At this point it is safe to say, Spin Magazine are fans of Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers.

In case you missed it, last year Shilpa was personally asked by Nick Cave to join Grinderman on the road for a short run of dates through the south.

For those who were unable to catch these shows, legendary journalist Larry ‘Ratso’ Sloman; who has worked on the biographies for Bob Dylan, Howard Stern, Anthony Kiedis to name a few, covered the entire excursion in an through behind-the-scenes look. You can check out that piece with photos right HERE .

Now, they went ahead and gave their new record eight out of ten, saying, “(Shilpa’s) deranged aura aside, the second full-length from this New York group is a brainy and brawny hybrid, unleashing barbed commentary on consumer culture and female beauty with storming, bare-bones rock’n‘roll.” Check out the whole thing HERE

Pre-orders will begin shipping next week, so if you haven’t jumped on that, we suggest you move fast to get the album before the release date. You can pick up the CD/LP or Color LP over HERE

Teenage and Torture will be available everywhere January 18th.
