Our Take

In the grand tradition of British eccentrics, CANDIDATE has emerged with their latest offering, "Under The Skylon." This album is a whimsical journey through a kaleidoscope of sounds and styles, blending elements of indie pop, psych-rock, and even a touch of prog for good measure.

From the opening track, "Merry-Go-Roundabout," the listener is whisked away on a sonic rollercoaster ride, complete with swirling guitars, infectious melodies, and lyrics that range from the surreal to the downright nonsensical. It's like taking a trip through a funhouse mirror maze, where every twist and turn reveals a new and unexpected facet of the music.

Lead singer, Jasper Higginbotham, delivers his vocals with a playful charm that is equal parts Morrissey and Syd Barrett, weaving tales of love, loss, and the occasional trip to the seaside. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with intricate arrangements and tight performances that show off their undeniable skill and creativity.

Standout tracks include the dreamy "Lunar Lullaby," the funky "Penny Farthing Boogie," and the epic closer "The Skylon Stands Tall." This album is a true feast for the ears, offering up a buffet of sounds and styles that will leave listeners craving more.

In summary, "Under The Skylon" is a delightful romp through the wild and wonderful world of CANDIDATE, showcasing their unique blend of talent, imagination, and just a dash of madness. So sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride – you won't be disappointed.
