May 12, Dischi Sotterranei. June 10, Dischi Sotterranei. March 23, Foolica. Surf 2 is exclusive to this release. July 9, self-produced. Concocted with the darkest deviant rock'n'roll ethos and distinctive melodic distortions, New Candys have established themselves as one of the most compelling bands to emerge from Italy in recent years. Founded by songwriter and singer-guitarist Fernando Nuti alongside bassist and synth player Dario Lucchesi , the lineup is completed by Emanuele Zanardo on lead guitar and backing vocals and Francesco Giacomin on drums and sampler.
Signed to the cult record label Fuzz Club, the band is recognized for its unfiltered artistic approach and versatility, seamlessly blending aggressive, gritty sounds with dreamy, introspective tones. The symbolism of their hometown, Venezia, often permeates their music, which explores surreal and sometimes cryptic themes. New Candys' live shows have gained them a reputation as a must-see act, growing a fanbase through extensive touring across Europe, North America and Australia.
With a storming set that dominates the Roundhouse are New Candys. Without fuss or ado, or any lights to speak of, they set about bombarding the room with their loud, atmospheric, addictive songs. Louderthanwar on their show at the Roundhouse in London Please do yourself a favor and go see New Candys. Really good live. Anton Newcombe Pretty good, pretty heavy. Iggy Pop on their single 'Zyko' during his BBC Radio 6 show This album is a solid set of shoegazer psych-rock with fuzzy guitars, atmospheric synths, heavy rhythms, detached vocals and hypnotic song hooks.
KEXP's Music Director Don Yates "Vyvyd" takes the best of psych and shoegaze, adds an effective strain of driving originality and songwriting chops, and dresses it up in a satisfying intensity.
Under The Radar 'Begin Again' is just incredibly good. These are 90s indie songs in a very positive sense precision tooled for playing live. They slay the room. Clash Magazine on their Fuzz Club Eindhoven live show Mixing brooding psychedelia with post-punk stylings, the record captures the full intensity of their live show with devastating results.
