dUg PINNICK – Thingamajigger (2024) *HQ*
Acclaimed King’s X bassist, songwriter, and co-vocalist dUg PINNICK is releasing a new solo album, “Thingamajigger“, out via Rat Pak Records. The upcoming CD features 11 brand new songs and follows his strong release of 2021’s ‘Joy Bomb’.
The curiously titled “Thingamajigger” (meaning ‘an item that one does not know the name of‘) – well, it’s dUg PINNICK, and we shouldn’t be surprised as the man has a huge sense of humor – rocks hard. From the opening chords of “Climbing Up the Mountain”, it is clear that dUg’s trademark tone lays the bedrock for this new effort.
dUg tackles a wide array of emotions and topics with layered harmonies, hooky rhythmic sensibilities, and the total groove that remains a crucial ingredient to the King’s X sound.
dUg proves that age is nothing to him and provides an album packed with the groove, swagger, and soul that he has honed and perfected over his extensive career. dUg’s ability to combine a multitude of his influences into one seamless offering is on full display.
“Climbing up the Mountain”, “Let the Music Play”, “The Valley”, “Keep On Going” and “More Strings Attached” show why dUg is still one of the best at his craft, while “The Alarm”, “Believe It” and “The One Thing” exemplify his ability to think outside the box and expand his range.
