About Me

With this self-titled album, sturdily moving on their path to pop-perfection, Twinklehead delivers a worthy tribute to bands of the present and of the past. Few modern bands dare to be retrospective in their work in the same way and with as much strength in their pop-compositions as Twinklehead.
The band is combining the best from different worlds into a unique, modern blend with comparisons to a broad variety of bands like Radiohead, R.E.M., Electric Light Orchestra, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Blur, Pulp. Neil Finn, Alan Parsons Project, 10cc, Stealers Wheel, World Party, Badfinger, late 60`s Bee Gees, Moody Blues, The Blue Nile WITH Pink Floyd (think Air,) Beatles, Beach Boys, Kinks, Move, Wizzard, Cockney Rebel, Utopia, 10CC, Squeeze, XTC, World Party and The La's.
The press is always looking to bands like this -great names! -for comparisons with Twinklehead, but as a matter of fact no band sounds exactly like this, no band is equal. And Twinklehead, though inspired by many of the mentioned bands, are standing firmly on their own. The bands ambitious approach on music seems to have no musical boundaries or limitations. Wonder what they will do next?
. You may ask yourself: How can a band be able to combine all these influences in one pure masterpiece of an album? Is this just another record company bragging on, again?
Well, turn it on and tune into the garden of Twinklehead. You won`t regret it, that`s for sure!
