  • The Heavy Blinkers are an orchestrated-pop group based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Since 1998, the Heavy Blinkers have released four full-length albums, and an EP. They are currently working on their fifth album, Health. Health is a double album and a loosely-based concept album, featuring guest appearances by Sondre Lerche and The High Llamas. Their songs are published through Nettwerk Publishing. In January 2008, two founding members Andrew Watt, and Ruth Minnikin left to pursue other ventures, leaving main-songwriter Jason MacIsaac as the only original member left in the group. "At 34 minutes, Better Weather (album #3) may be short, but it's emotionally candid and spiritually vast, dealing with the weight of life itself. " – UNCUT "For every triumphant Bacharach horn flourish there's sadder soft-pop reflection. With its mournful strings, I Used to Be a Design is tinged with the same melancholy as Surf's Up, but the light always breaks through. " – Mojo "The Heavy Blinkers (album #2) is the best album of suite-like grandeur since the last Olivia Tremor Control record. " – Magnet "The album goes beyond simple accomplishment, however, and into the realm of masterwork thanks to the production and pure genius arrangements. From beginning to end, The Heavy Blinkers is guileless delight. But more than that, it is a tour-de-force of unequalled pop excellence. " – Rolling Stone. com
