Candy - Good to Feel

Classic grimy hardcore record! Black vinyl - gatefold sleeve. Only played once as a test run.

At their most ferocious, its as if Obituary vocalist John Tardy formed a metallic hardcore side project. This is of course a massive compliment!

At an efficient 17 minutes, Good to Feel may make you reach for the ‘Play’ button over and over. And repeated listens do reveal clever moments and interesting stylistic choices, like the murderous homage to Entombed’s HM2-powered death crunch that anchors “Human Target.” To that end, Candy close with “Bigger Than Yours,” a surreal tapestry of droning shoegaze and punch-drunk guitar pop that fades into a bubbling wash of harsh noise. The move may seem surprising if Candy hadn’t spent the proceeding quarter-hour establishing how little regard they have for genre conventions and orthodoxy of any sort.
