On their sophomore LP, Candi and The Strangers jives out powdery synth-pop blended with muted disco and causes one to beg, "More Moog." 10th of Always purveys movement through space, and its done remarkably well through fleshly synthetic melodies and vibrantly blurred rhythms. Because of all the dripping fuzz and boomeranging reverb on 10th of Always it's hard to know whether Samantha Constant is saying 'glide' or 'dive.' But somehow it doesn't matter. Part of the fun of the album is the ambience, and part of the ambience is traveling on a space ship or Milky [...]
A few weeks back we shared a new spin on The Car's Moving In Stereo courtesy of devious Austin neo-new wavers, Candi & The Strangers , and I gotta admit, I'm really digging this band. Perhaps it has something to do with the way their music veers from Teutonic detachment to dreamy seduction in the bat of a heavily mascaraed eye. Maybe it's the way the paper-thin snare sounds resonate in my cranium. More likely it has something to do with adolescent crushes on the genre's original leading ladies, like Blondie, [...]
Watching Candi & The Strangers' video for Moving In Stereo , I had flashbacks to getting jacked on Mountain Dew and staying up all night watching Night Flight on the USA Network. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, don't sweat it; those were different times. Times when music videos were influenced by films like Videodrome , Liquid Sky , Dark Star and La Jetee rather than...well, whatever influences today's music [...]
You know how we all got really stoned the other night and started talking about the space-time continuum, and then saw ourselves in the future, but it was really more like the past because there was so much synth and it was the Cars, but it wasn't the Cars, and we were in this bunker that looked like the hatch from Lost , and then I said, "You mean that's us in the future?" and you said "Yep," but then it got all kaleidoscopic and our minds were blown!? You don't? Well, it turns out John Constant was filming [...]
mp3: Candi and the Strangers - "Nico Regrets" by Brian Tucker As a band name Candi and the Strangers couldn't sound more 1980's, like a confectionary bar band belting out tunes in the vein of Scandal or The Romantics. Musically it's exactly the opposite; a mix of synth, dance and hazy indie rock. On 10th of Always the band has crafted something that's dreamy and beautifully caustic, fitting in easily circa 1983. It exists in the present perfectly, sounding like [...]

News: Candi And The Strangers Drop Psychedelic Concept Video
A few weeks out from the February 8th release of Candi and the Strangers' new full-length, "10th of Always," the band is dropping a special concept video, and non-album single, for their epic, and atmospheric cover of The Cars' "Moving In Stereo." Directed and filmed completely by the band's own John Constant, for their House of Constant imprint, the video explores the band's fascination with the idea of dimensions existing within an audio realm only; simply put, a world of vibrations and tone. The video also serves as a pre-cursor to the band's upcoming audio-visual full-length animation feature titled "Children [...]

Candi and the Strangers
I just caught wind of this new music video for Candi & The Strangers, directed by a talented local artist who goes by the name Fishlegs . It's pretty much the coolest music video I've seen this year. Or any year. The projection is digitally created but captured in-camera, and the cinematography was done by the insanely multi-talented Dustin Scott and his magical 7D. Candi and the Strangers officially formed in January 2009 after their producer, Erik Wofford (The Black Angels, Voxtrot, The Octopus Project), decided to step out from behind the mixing board and [...]
