the music of twink has to be one of the coolest things i've heard in a while. it's music made with toy pianos and other instruments for children! the cover of metallica's “enter sandman” is awesome. there's a bunch of tracks over at iuma, and now there's a newly-released album, too. (via the boingboing guestlog.)

in the mid-to-late eighties, there was a band that used to play all toy instruments (can't remember their name... grrr...) and at the end of every show, they'd destroy the instruments pete townsend style. then, they'd go to toys-r-us and buy a new set. they were good, too.
"Do You Hear the Frog?" is the most toyful one I've heard so far. "Night Sway" and "Winterheart" are good, and remind me of Chris Vrenna's music for American McGee's Alice.

Sorry, comments on this post are closed.
after listening to more of the tracks, i have to say this is in the running for the best music ever. without fear of hyperbole, even.
