Heavy Blinkers

An orchestral-pop lovers' wet dream come true! Brilliant, baroque vocal pop from Canada, the Halifax scene's most dreamy, The HEAVY BLINKERS! Twenty-one sophisticated pop tunes with hues drawn from the late-sixties palette of 'Smile' era BEACH BOYS, BACHARACH and BIG STAR, combined with an affinity for elements of children's music and Christmas carols, a shimmering, effervescent sound built up with overdub after overdub after overdub, vocals galore! Forward-thinking pop of thee highest order, where 12-string guitar, piano and drums melt into a late 60s landscape of horns, strings, timpani, vibraphone, theremin, banjo and pedal steel, like PHIL SPECTOR producing The CARDIGANS, PAPAS FRITAS, The LEFT BANKE and The ZOMBIES one spacious velvet-walled studio, yet still delectably homespun. Fourteen songs are sublime sonic productions performed by the full band, while the remaining seven tunes are luscious vignettes featuring the various members of the band in more intimate, solo environs, like The BEATLES 'White Album' odyssey. Hope they made plenty, you're gonna want loads! Sheer pop bliss, the most ambitious pop album ever to escape the Maritimes!
