Toy instruments make playful music, March 31, 2003

This review is from: Twink (Audio CD)
Twink (not to be confused with the "Think Pink" band of the same name) got its name from the tinkly sound of the toy piano, the instrument that apparently inspired this album. The toy piano in fact plays a central role in this album, although there are plenty of other toy instruments, with the occasional appearance of more traditional instruments -- guitars and drums, but also cello and flute. And of course studio techniques. The effect is not just arch kitsch, as one might expect from looking at the picture booklet. Nor is it merely a sales gimmick. A variety of musical styles make cameo appearances, and the music displays a variety of moods. Though always playful, Mike Langlie gives every impression of taking the challenge of this album seriously.
