Mike Langlie's toy piano band Twink is back with nearly an hour of instrumental adventure on the album 'Supercute!' Music box melodies meet mutated beats, dreamland DJs serve up twisted ice cream truck tunes. Barnyard animals take over the orchestra pit. there's a toy surprise in every song!
Joining Mike are over a dozen musicians of diverse backgrounds such as Ralph Carney (horn player for Tom Waits and Elvis costello), Clayton Scoble (guitarist for Aimee Mann and Francine) and Steven Cerio (artist for Negativland and The Residents). Sitting alongside Twink's menagerie of toy instruments are strings, horns, ukulele, melodica, mandolin, banjo, percussion, singing saw, pots and pans, and more.
Twink has been heard in animation shorts on MTV Europe, and was highlighted on Wisconsin Public Radio's nationally-broadcasted program "To the best of our knowledge." Langlie's previous album made the top of many alternative radio charts in 2003 and this created a buzz among the music press.
