Their latest CD, "The Winks + Tights Split" was released September 27th 2005 by Drip Audio/Maximum Jazz. Both groups share the same musical ideal obvious, considering they share several of the same members. And both projects seep a very real, personal spirit. The Winks unfurl their butterfly wings on this, their second official release. Revealing new tricks wrapped in a historic carapace, the Mandolin, Cello, and percussion trio endow with a refreshing dialect of pop language. The modern frame-work is there, but the sounds are different vintage and unusual like antique arms pointing to infinite roots in time and culture- places in history obscured by dust and cobwebs, finally rediscovered, polished, and prepared for the modern world.
