Little Cloud Records / Dischi Sotterranei

This record has its own mythology. We played with religious, pagan and archetypal symbols, which have been distorted through our lens. If we had to sum up the album in one concept it would be the contradiction of light: God/good is often represented with a bright glow, whilst Lucifer, the personification of evil, means light-bearer. We've been inspired by the visionary cinema of Kenneth Anger and Alejandro Jodorowsky among others.

Fuzz Club / Little Cloud Records

The album title can be read as a cinematographic reference: where there’s fiction, there’s no real pain. During the writing process we kept in mind the release format of a 12” vinyl and treated it as an extra influential element. On the first side (33 rpm) the songs were written meticulously. For the second side (45 rpm, tracks 8-11) we did the opposite, no limits and a long medley. Visually inspired by Refn's last movies and Argento's early movies.

Picture In My Ear / Fuzz Club

Mixed by Loop’s original drummer/producer John Wills. The leitmotif for the album’s imaginary comes from Maya Deren’s surrealistic films together with the Patent Medicines’ period, when drugs compounds were sold pretending to be medications with exclusive ingredients.

Foolica / Fuzz Club

The album's main theme is related to time conception and a transitional journey; where the deepest, darkest place is lit by the furthest, brightest points. Visually inspired by the movie La Cicatrice Intérieure, starring Nico.

self-produced

No computers were used during the recordings. We were disillusioned by our previous studio experiences, so we decided to record live on tape. It took us three days, mixing included. Initially, the EP was supposed to be a demo we could use to help us book shows, but in the end it received reviews so it became our first "release". Dry Air Everywhere and Volunteer have been re-recorded for our first album.

Hailing from Venice, Italy, New Candys formed in 2008. Described as dark modern rock’n’roll, the band combines noisy, brooding sounds with distinct melodies while displaying a dynamic and symbiotic connection between their music and meticulously crafted visual imagery.
Released in 2012, their first studio album ‘Stars Reach The Abyss’, mastered by Jon Astley, brought the band on tour in England and Italy. The song "Meltdown Corp." was included in the annual compilation 'The Reverb Conspiracy', co-released by Fuzz Club and The Reverberation Appreciation Society (Levitation Austin). In 2015 their second studio album ‘As Medicine’, mixed by John Wills of Loop, was released through Picture In My Ear and Fuzz Club and distributed by The Committee To Keep Music Evil too. In the next two years the band toured Europe three times, also performing at the Secret Garden Party and Liverpool Psych Fest. Their third album ‘Bleeding Magenta’ was released in 2017 by Fuzz Club and repressed in the US by Little Cloud Records, followed by its European promotional tour and a performance at SpaceFest in Gdańsk. In 2018 they toured Australia, headlining both Sydney and Melbourne Psych Fest and performing at the Adelaide Fringe. Next the band went on a US-Mexico tour and recorded a KEXP live session. In 2019 they completed a back to back tour of 50 shows in Europe, the US and Canada including Desert Stars Festival in Joshua Tree, Milwaukee Psych Fest, The Echo in LA, Hotel Vegas in Austin and Mercury Lounge in New York. A third European tour took place in September, including Levitation France and shows with The Warlocks and The Dandy Warhols and in January 2020 they played the Balkans for the first time. Some of their songs are featured on episodes of Showtime Networks original TV series "Shameless".

New Candys’ fourth and latest album ‘Vyvyd’ was released on June 4th, 2021 via Little Cloud Records and Dischi Sotterranei, plus an exclusive vinyl edition on Fuzz Club. It’s the first record by the new line-up, mixed by Grammy Award producer Tommaso Colliva (Muse, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Damon Albarn).
On March 16th 2021, New Candys released the first lead single "Twin Mime" with a music video which premiered on Post-Punk.com and the song ultimately featured on five Spotify editorial playlists, including "All New Rock". This was followed by the second single "Begin Again" on April 13th, 2021. The music video, directed by Ivana Smudja, premiered on CVLT Nation and the song was featured on the "Sacred Bones Now Playing'' playlist curated by the renowned record label. The third and final single "Zyko" was released on May 11th, 2021 and was added to six Spotify editorial playlists including "New Alt-Rock Mixtape", Apple Music’s "New in Rock" and Deezer’s "Hot New Rock", making it their most successful track to date. The song was broadcasted on BBC Radio 6 Music during Iggy Pop’s The Confidential Show hosted by Tom Robinson and on May 14th the band performed for the online edition of The Great Escape Festival.
'Vyvyd' was released on June 4th, 2021 accompanied by two music visualizers for "Factice" and “Evil Evil” and an interview for Beat Magazine. The song “Vyvyan Rising” was added to three Spotify editorial playlists including "Modern Psychedelia". Under the Radar's Haydon Spenceley wrote that the album "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." KEXP's Music Director Don Yates declared Vyvyd to be “a solid set of shoegazer psych-rock with fuzzy guitars, atmospheric synths, heavy rhythms, detached vocals and hypnotic song hooks” whilst DJ John Richards said fans of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Ride or The Jesus & Mary Chain will love the album.

The band announced 26 shows in support of the album, between Europe and the UK, set to take place from July to December 2021, with more shows to be announced.

FERNANDO NUTI - lead vocals, guitar
ANDREA VOLPATO - guitar, backing vocals
ALESSANDRO BOSCHIERO - bass
DARIO LUCCHESI - drums, sampler

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

Drawing upon the energy spheres of The Horrors, The Jesus & Mary Chain and The Dandy Warhols with a compelling psychedelic guitar riff.
Post-Punk.com on their single 'Twin Mime'

I love this album, every song on 'Vyvyd' is the bomb, New Candys create the kind SpaceGaze anthems that will have you floating in the stars.
CVLT Nation

Fans of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Ride or The Jesus & Mary Chain will love their new record 'Vyvyd'.
DJ John Richards

New Candys played to a full and partisan room, showcasing songs from their fantastic recent album 'Bleeding Magenta'. 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.
Drowned In Sound

New Candys sound like something between The Stooges and The Jesus & Mary Chain. Super wild and super cool.

I New Candys si sono formati a Venezia nel 2008. Dopo un EP autoprodotto, nel 2012 esce il primo album “Stars Reach The Abyss” (Foolica), seguito da un tour in UK. Un brano tratto da esso viene incluso nella compilation annuale “The Reverb Conspiracy” dell'etichetta inglese Fuzz Club e della americana The Reverberation Appreciation Society (Levitation Austin). Nel 2015 esce il secondo album “As Medicine” per l’etichetta americana Picture In My Ear e nuovamente per Fuzz Club. Mixato da John Wills dei Loop, riceve apprezzamenti da Simone Marie Butler dei Primal Scream, Stephen Lawrie dei The Telescopes e da Orange Amplification. Seguono tre tour europei che includono il supporto a band come Slowdive, The Vaccines, Savages, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion e la partecipazione a festival tra i quali Secret Garden Party e Liverpool Psych Fest.

Nel 2017 esce il terzo album "Bleeding Magenta" (Fuzz Club / Little Cloud Records) ed il quarto tour europeo include la partecipazione allo SpaceFest a Danzica. Il riconoscimento internazionale della band si consolida nel 2018, prima con un tour australiano dove suonano da headliner al Sydney e al Melbourne Psych Fest e partecipano all'Adelaide Fringe, poi con un tour degli Stati Uniti e Messico che include una live session alla radio KEXP di Seattle. Si esibiscono, inoltre, al Fuzz Club Eindhoven assieme a The Black Angels e altri e suonano in apertura ai The Brian Jonestown Massacre in Italia. Nel 2019 completano due tour consecutivi con oltre 50 concerti, prima in Europa e poi negli Stati Uniti e Canada. Tra i concerti figurano il Desert Stars Festival a Joshua Tree, Milwaukee Psych Fest, The Echo a Los Angeles, Hotel Vegas ad Austin ed il Mercury Lounge di New York. Il terzo tour Europeo, avvenuto a settembre, ha incluso il Levitation France assiema a concerti con The Warlocks e The Dandy Warhols. Nel gennaio 2020 suonano per la prima volta nella penisola balcanica. Alcuni loro brani sono stati inclusi in episodi della serie televisiva americana "Shameless".

Il nuovo e quarto album dei New Candys, intitolato 'Vyvyd', è il primo con la nuova formazione composta da Fernando Nuti, Andrea Volpato, Alessandro Boschiero e Dario Lucchesi. È stato registrato al Fox Studio di Venezia da Andrea Volpato, mixato da Tommaso Colliva (Calibro 35, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Damon Albarn) e masterizzato da Giovanni Versari, questi ultimi entrambi vincitori di un Grammy Award. L’album uscirà il 4 giugno per l’etichetta statunitense Little Cloud Records e per l’italiana Dischi Sotterranei, in aggiunta ad un’edizione esclusiva in vinile per Fuzz Club.

“Zyko, l'ultimo, martellante singolo dei New Candys prima dell'album è un ossessivo delirio stoner, trainato da un basso gloriosamente martoriato”

Rumore

“Una delle realtà più internazionali che esistano in Italia”
Rolling Stone
