Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink[s]
Montreal's The Winks are totally a baroque punk band.
I came across these lads and lady and couple years back and seeing as how I'm on some kind of chamber pop kick right now, I thought I'd sharesies.
This is exuberant music for people:
a] who enjoy unique blends of orchestral sounds AND/OR
b] who might have a strange liking for casually worn cummerbunds or hats with peacock feather arrangements.
Other than that, this is a talented group of Canadians who, at different points, remind me of Mother Mother and a sprightlier, sillier, less psychedelic-er Spiral Beach.
So here are some Winks-p3's.

Also check out their MySpace and website.
And if you're in Montreal this Friday, February 6th, they're playing at the Green Room with Ryland Bouchard [an Oregonian!] and Emperor X-- all for the low, low price of $8.
Thanks for stopping by,
Alie

Love it! Very optimistic type music, had me bopping along in the morning (even before I'd had my coffee, which is a feat in itself). cheers for bringing them to my attention (:
