Editorial Reviews

Halifax based The Heavy Blinkers have been described as Bacharach meets Brian Wilson. The Heavy Blinkers list both Wilson and Bacharach as influences, as well as Serge Gainsbourg, Bob Dylan, Phil Spector, and The Bee Gees. As on their first three releases, The Night And I Are Still So Young continues the tradition of lush, introspective pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, April 5, 2005

This is one of the most beautiful albums ever made. The lyrics are sad, but the melodies, harmonies and arrangements are bright, lush and sunny, like a spring forest on a sunny day. If you like Burt Bacharach and Brian Wilson, you really need to hear this. It is, as I titled my review, breathtaking. These musicians are all in other bands and they take a really long time between Heavy Blinkers projects, but I hope they get going on another one soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOLLAND ERA BEACH BOYS meets SURFS UP ERA BEACH BOYS, May 31, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Night & I Are Still So Young (Audio CD)

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. This album finds the five Blinkers collaborating with over 25 auxilliary players to help create a symphonic tapestry that is as rich and dense as you're likely to hear this year.
