New Candys announce new album 'The Uncanny Extravaganza' and share video for lead single 'Regicide'
'Venice, Italy band New Candys are today announcing their fifth album ‘The Uncanny Extravaganza’ and sharing the lead single ‘Regicide’, out everywhere now with an accompanying video. Due for release on May 30th, you can pre-order on deluxe gatefold LP/CD and check out 'Regicide' here
Marking a bold evolution in New Candys’ sound, ‘The Uncanny Extravaganza’ blends their psych-rock roots with fresh electronic influences and cutting-edge production by Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher). It’s a genre-defying sonic experience that could be their most compelling work yet – veering between aggressive, gritty sounds, synth-driven rhythms, and dreamy, melancholic minimalism.
On the lead single ‘Regicide’, they say: "Regicide is a signature track from our new album, embodying everything we want to be today. We wanted to introduce elements that had never been part of our songs before. The disco-style beat in the verses really excited us, it was a deliberate clash between two distant genres that we wanted to blend together, making the song as danceable and party-ready as possible while still maintaining a dark atmosphere, just the way we like it. Moreover, all the traits of our most aggressive tracks are present here, but in this song, they’re taken to the extreme."
‘The Uncanny Extravaganza’ is available to pre-order now on a limited deluxe edition, on 180g coke bottle clear vinyl in a hand-numbered (/500) gatefold jacket with alternative cover art. Also available on orange vinyl and CD. Catch the band on their newly-announce UK/EU tour dates in support!
