about

Label Obscura is proud to announce the reissue of one of the best Halifax independent pop albums of the early 2000s - 'The Night And I Are Still So Young' by The Heavy Blinkers. Described by Spin magazine as "one of the greatest bands you've (probably) never heard", the band reached a remarkable breakthrough with their fourth album 'The Night and I Are Still So Young' (2004), exhibiting a new maturity in this stunningly orchestrated pop masterpiece. Two years in the making, this album 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 has led to the group gathering fans wide and afar, including Sondre Lerche, Van Dyke Parks and The High Llamas. The luscious pop songmanship of this album has earned The Heavy Blinkers comparisons with Brian Wilson's best work at his peak, as well as international acclaim and devoted fans. The band's sonic landscape is rich with multi-tracked vocals featuring an affecting interplay between Minnikin, Watt and Macisaac, combined with a virtual enchanted forest of arrangements.

Noisey recently included The Heavy Blinkers in their Completely Biased Ranking of the 60 Best Canadian lndie Rock Songs of the oos, with the band also ranking in View 902's The Top 20 Albums by Nova Scotians.
