Think Pink by Twink is the only truth in rock & roll re-releases of 2017. In no way is it like OK Computer’s captilatistic anti-anti nativity, no: Think Pink is legit for the truest who are still collecting that rare vinyl experience. The crunch psyche completely plants both feet right into a grooved plunge while everybody smelting waves of hallucinogenic vibes master the mind, composed by such a singular and all-star cast.
It’s the road trip you took in high school after learning how to drive and understanding the purest of classi rock. It’s the moment you fell in love with vinyl relived in every rotation of that needle point. It’s the blaze of glory one feels when on-stage ego still meant something and not appearing clownish. It’s the rawest of all pleasures searing into the third eye that had been shut for at least a decade. Pry open Twink’s reissue of Think Pink for a listening experience that will visualize a new story in your most temporal node with each spin. Full album stream below the details:
