Paper Tiger (Vowws Versus Winkie)

Brooklyn-based duo creating dark, distorted electronic music. 

My Eyes Are Closed When The Sun Comes Up

Always To Be Around

What began as a film scoring project and alias, WINKIE, a New York based duo (Betty and Rita) layer distorted electronics, merciless bass tones and percussion patterns that hint at the sounds of Killing Joke, early-era Swans, and Barbed Wire Kisses phase The Jesus and Mary Chain. Winkie have shared the stage with Meat Beat Manifesto, Author & Punisher, Father Murphy, Pictureplane, Pill, HIDE, Chasms, Xeno & Oaklander, and C-TEC. The cinematic quality of their live visuals—almost suited perfectly for a Gregg Araki film—haunt audiences as noted by Invisible Oranges’ Chris Harrington : “…arty and abstract, layering sub-zone bass frequency with shadowy mind patterns. Masks covered the duo’s faces for most of the set, offering a plastic intimacy that was horror and beauty: a possible question to the unnatural-naturalness of life and memory. There was science fiction here, and deep club dreamscapes; gritty urbanity sequenced with blue melody and shine. The pair floated and danced, the music very much film-based and mood structured.” 

It’s a cheerless desolate soundtrack for the desperate.This is the sound of drowning. You are welcome.
