Twink is the toy piano-centered project of Boston area keyboardist Mike Langlie. After playing keyboards in numerous goth and industrial rock bands (such as Vitriola), Langlie partially abandoned the world of synthesizers and began to make music on his accumulated collection of toy pianos. He was helped out by friends, such as Steven Cerio (illustrater for The Residents), Clayton Scoble of Francine, Rick Hansen of Plastic Nebraska, as well as members of the local goth scene. Twink, which combined Langlie's toy pianos with synthesized drumbeats and a variety of novelty instruments, was issued by Dyspepsidisc in 2002, and came packaged with an illustrated storybook. ~ Jesse Jarnow, All Music Guide
