Candies

Leaving Our Homes

Turn

Varied and tight moving indie rock from Northern Italy here, with some help from members of Truman’s Water and Calexico – those two bands giving you an idea of the range that this band has. From noise manipulation and sonic melodic mayhem to sparse and moody drifts through the airwaves, Candies cover the speakers with their own style. From sadness to pure explosion, dynamic waves of noise that hold veins of pure brass notes. Garage rock turned inside out, Sonic Youth shadows under desert waves, movement playing with static, and rhythms that grab you.
