Long considered one of the best pop bands in Canada, the Heavy Blinkers have reached a new maturity with this stunningly orchestrated pop masterpiece. Two years in the making, “The Night And I Are Still So Young” consolidates the nocturnal orchestrations of the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev and grafts them onto material akin to 70′s era Beach Boys, Harry Nilsson or Randy Newman.

Genre: Orchestral Pop, 60′s Pop

Sounds Like: Belle & Sebastian, The Beach Boys, Flaming Lips, Rufus Wainwright

Not content to replicate an approach already taken, the Heavy Blinkers decided instead to shake things up a bit on Better Weather. The perverse catchy-ness is ever-present, (the blinkers have written some of the most hummable pop in recent memory), but there is a definite and profound sense of melancholy on this record. The songs that make up the blinkers‘ new album, are twelve sleek and self-contained slices of pop genius. Moving comfortably from orch-pop to country, from r & b to gospel, this one has it all.

Genre: Orchestral Pop, 60′s Pop

Sounds Like: Belle & Sebastian, The Beach Boys, Flaming Lips, Rufus Wainwright

“Better Weather is an album of sophisticated white soul, simply recorded but brimming with ingenious arrangements and complex harmonic blends.” -Uncut
