Today, the #zot2017 review features an all-Italian album that I had already listened to, but I don’t think we’ve ever mentioned it here on DeBaser. Here it is.
New Candys - Bleeding Magenta (Fuzz Club Records, October 06, 2017)
This is the moment when Italy has finally realized it has one of Europe's best neo-psychedelic bands at home. I’m talking about New Candys (Stefano Bidoggia, Dario Lucchesi, Diego Menegaldo, Fernando Nuti). 'Bleeding Magenta', released on Fuzz Club Records last October 6th, has indeed received a number of reviews in popular webzines compared to the band's previous works, which have finally helped circulate the name of this group that has long had a following among enthusiasts across the rest of Europe. Particularly in the United Kingdom. A 'classic' neo-psychedelic group, New Candys, with this album, reintroduce a formula that has already worked brilliantly in their other releases over the years. The songs are all recognizable for their typical wave attitude found in other psychedelic bands (starting from the Underground Youth), for the electrifying guitar riffs, the power of the bass lines, and the extensive use of distortion on the vocals. Compared to their 'relatives' Sonic Jesus, their sound is definitely less cryptic and has some nuances that could even be defined as 'pop' due to the accessibility of their songs. The album boasts a certain cohesiveness and features some more experimental moments like 'Sermon', created with the participation of vocalist Julia Hammer, or the trilogy of 'The Otrogeous Wedding' that fills the second half of the album. The rest is the usual mix of fuzz, feedback, distortions, and reverbs. A nice record that the band composed inspired by visual content and the films of Dario Argento and the works of Nicolas Winding Refn. Obviously recommended. If you like neo-psychedelic music (I don’t understand the comparisons to Black Angels frankly, who really have little or nothing to do with this), or alternative rock music, you cannot miss listening to it.
