While they are prone to grand experimental flourishes (take a peek at the Christmas song they did for us) a la the Fiery Furnaces the Winks may have truly arrived with their new LP ‘Twilights’. There’s a title to attract young ears hung up on teenage vampires and they might just stick around for there is gothic scenes lurking amongst the lush melodies on this album. But it’s the memorable tunes that’ll suck the rest of us in and opening track ‘Wildlife of the Desert’ is a near perfect example of the fair on offer. Linearity is thrown out the window but this is no mundane sonic ramble because every new turn is better than the last. Get the Winks or you’ll miss ’em. KD
