About

The Winks

Label: Ache Records
since circa 1999
The Winks are reworking pop music in ways that prove the initial rules were just an illusion anyway.

On paper, taking the already beautiful mandolin and cello augmented with boy-girl vocals, drums, sparse electronics and baritone saxophone is alone worthy of straight out adulation for its ace outside the box thinking.
