“‘Excess’ is full of swelling guitar lines and a vocal line that rides through the mix very much at one pace, swirling together with the visuals provided by the music video.”
– New Noise Magazine
“It’s a psychedelic power trip of an album that demands your attention from its opening bars.”
– Drowned In Sound
Today, Venice, Italy-based alternative rock band New Candys release their LP, Bleeding Magenta, via Fuzz Club Records. New Candys formed in 2008 and gained a buzz through playing European festivals, such as The Secret Garden Party and Liverpool Psych Fest 2016. They recently landed a major sync for their song “Aphrodite In Leather” on SHOWTIME‘s hit show “Shameless.” New Candys have shared the stage with rock notables, including The Warlocks, Dead Skeletons, The Vaccines, Slowdive and more.
Rolling Stone Italia hosted an exclusive stream of the record a week before it’s global release. New Noise Magazine premiered the lead single “Excess” stating, “The song bellows with a gripping bass line, charging the rest of the instrumentals into a sonic daze; full of grandeur and poppy atmosphere.” “Excess” is a goodbye song; it’s about how intense relationships can be and how it’s okay to say goodbye if it’s too much to handle. The video has cinematographic odes to Nicolas Winding Refn and Dario Argento. This was the first offering from the LP, and gives a good sample of what to expect on the full record. Bleeding Magenta was written with a vinyl release in mind. The band says, “We played with the restricted amount of time allowed by one side at 33 RPM: 24 minutes. This forced us to be focused, to slim down our compositions and give space to the best and essential music only.”
The four piece is made up of Fernando Nuti (vocals, guitar, sitar), Diego Menegaldo (guitar, vocals), Stefano Bidoggia (bass, organ) and Dario Lucchesi (drums, percussion). New Candys produced the record by themselves, recording it for the first time close to their home at Fox Studio in Venice with Andrea Volpato. Drums were recorded at Alpha Department Studios in Bologna by Pierluigi Ballarin, who worked with the band on previous records. The record was mastered by Grammy Award winner Giovanni Versari at La Maestà Mastering, and it will be available on all digital platforms in October 2017. The vinyl pressing will ensure records will be on sale for the release, as well.
