We first featured Bristol psych/post-punk trio Candy Darling here last July with their debut single 'Money'.
Now back with second single 'Going Straight' (b/w 'Waves'), released May 24, the three - vocalist/guitarist Emily Breeze, Rob Norbury, guitar, and Adam Coombs on production/synth - have produced yet another reverb-drenched winner.
More downtempo than 'Money', it nevertheless retains the Darling love of acerbic lyrics, mesmerizing instrumentation and commanding frontwoman presence, to make for an imposing slice of 80s gothic pop noir, with stark beats, spine-tingling synths and impressive guitar reverb. You will definitely want to hear this more than once.
Candy Darling play the free entry Stagfest 2015 at The Stag & Hounds, Bristol this Saturday, April 4. Their single launch show is at The Fleece, Bristol on May 24.
