![[MP3] new Candy Claws: "Sunbeam Show"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2490973_lg.jpg)
Hopefully you're enjoying your holidaze so far and if not, let me increase the odds of your sensual pleasure by delivering a brand new track from Coloradan outfit Candy Claws . Since enjoying their cover of Ace of Base's "Don't Turn Around" last year, (then) label Indiecater sent over their full length LP In The Dream of Sea Life . It's a fanciful debut album unlike anything else I heard, and despite being unpolished in places it rightfully garnered Candy Claws a Hypeworthy tag . [...]
![[MP3] Candy Claws: "Sunbeam Show"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2490390_lg.jpg)
We last heard from Candy Claws after the release of their debut album, In the Dream of the Sea Life , and the band is back with more awesome soothing pop music. In anticipation of their follow-up album, Hidden Lands , they've released single "Sunbeam Show," another sweet, sweeping synth adventure. In this guy's humble opinion, Candy Claws can do no wrong as long as they keep making these great tracks. The new album is due out July 20 on twosyllable records . Candy Claws – "Sunbeam Show" [MP3] [...]
With a solitary, tantalising week to go, we thought it would only be right and proper to give the full heads up on the previously announced unofficial day party we're throwing with 2syllable , incase anyone missed it the first time around. The event, taking place at Tiniest Bar In Texas on Friday March 19th will run as follows: First Stage 12:00pm – Washed Out/Small Black [...]
Today's 'Introducing' feature is a look back at all the bands we covered in February, plus a mixtape for you to download and a competition to win that mixtape on an actual cassette tape (look above...or below!). February was an amazing month of discoveries for us. Lots of hiddem gems and bands for the future! Not only have they all made some amazing songs (hence we covered them) but they were kind enough to donate a song for you to download. [...]
Candy Claws are pretty special. Hailing from Colorado, this band have nailed the perfect blend between experimental pop and ambient soundscapes; all trapped within a jar of uplifting and beautiful songs. MP3: Candy Claws - Like the majority of the 'Introducing' band's we cover, we don't have a great deal of background info to share with you. All we know is that a) They're great [...]

Golden Ages - Everything Will Be Alright A perfect tune for a Friday night: upbeat, uplifting, with just the right mixture of electronics and melody. Golden Ages are from Philadelphia, they're friends with Candy Claws , and their new album Tradition, which is released through Deerhaus , is worth checking out. myspace Photo by audelising , licensed under Creative Commons
2009 is a tough year to judge. I've checked out more albums this year than any year in the past. Well over 1,000. And there have been quite a few great ones as well. When this list began, it had 110 albums. I abandoned my top 33 and 1/3 for 45, and then said "screw it" and upped the number to an even 50. These are the top notch albums of the year, all worthy of praise. Despite trouble all around, 2009 wasn't all that bad. [...]
It's the best day of the year no contest, no other time can inspire such a wholesome feeling of elation than the day before Christmas. In lots of ways it is better than the day it precedes, the expectation is ripe and no matter the weather sodden hands are extended to friends and not so friendlies. Usually by now I am in a higher state of intoxication but this year due to the arrival of our own pair of tiny hands the drinks will be more formulaic (!) in nature. And what better way to greet this magic day than [...]
So the holidays are looking pretty dismal this year for me...car broken, car fixed, car broken 30 minutes after being fixed...so it looks like Brooklyn is where I'll be for the holidays. Since I'm trying to kill time until I go check on the car again (which is already back at the mechanic) I thought I would put up a couple not so holiday themed Christmas songs...and why are they not so holiday themed? Well I'm not feeling in the spirit enough to listen to my favorite album, Vince Guaraldi Trio's Charlie Brown Christmas (BUY IT HERE [...]
Weekly Tape Deck has luckily been appointed as the last stop on Candy Claws recent Online World Tour. We're very happy to present an exclusive video of the band on their trip home set to the last track off their record In The Dream Of The Sea Life . Here is what the band had to say: We made it! Around the world, online, on a tour for "In the Dream of the Se a Life." It's been quite an adventure, and now you will see the clouds passing by on the trip home in [...]
[Sorry, permissions appear to be a little broken - go here to view in the meantime] I confidently sat down to write my Friday Fives this week and to introduce the Candy Claws ' virtual tour video only to realise that I have managed to fuck things up. I am a week late. For some reason I had it absolutely fixed in my head that it was supposed to be this Friday, so all I can do is apologise profusely to the band and to Kev from Indiecater Records and hope [...]
Candy Claws has sent their warmest holiday greetings in the form of music. We expect some big things from the Ft. Collins kids. From Candy Claws- Season's Greetings! Here is our first annual Christmas Card. Ryan programmed the songs in warm sunny Bucerias, Mexico. Then Kay, Wesley, Mckenzie, Meghan, and Aly joined in. Best Holiday Wishes to you and your family! love, Candy Claws and Firebreather Candy Claws- Snow Girl [mp3] [...]
Candy Claws has recorded two holiday songs as their season's greeting to the world. The songs were programmed in warm and sunny Bucerias, Mexico and then filled with holiday spirit in frigid and sunny Fort Collins, Colorado. Thank you Candy Claws and Happy Holidays! "Snow Girl" "Tonight I Belong to You"

Feel kinda overjoyed that the album that has touched me the most in 2009 has also found it's home on Indiecater . 'In The Dream of The Sea Life' has embedded it's intricate delights on my psyche to the same degree as 'Giant Steps', 'Loveless', 'Funeral', 'The Stone Roses' and 'Screamadelica'. It is a staggeringly consistent joy, a rare work where each piece of woozy electronica and dreamy vocal plays a pivotal role. Due to a long list of reasons Candy Claws haven't been able to tour to support the album but they've dreamed up a winning alternative. [...]
Last week Ryan and I (hows that for grammar Ritchie?) presented our albums as a mutual effort. This time around we put together our own lists of 30 of our favorite songs this year. Think I've ripped through an entire legal pad and a full box of bic-sticks in the process, but I was finally able to squeeze this out. Honestly, my list could have topped 100 so feel free to tell me what a jerk I am for leaving something off. 30) Dirty Projectors - Cannibal Resource [...]
I've never heard any other band going on a virtual tour before, so I'm very proud to be a part of this. Colorado-based Candy Claws have been "on the road"... or should one say, "on the wire"?... for about two weeks now, and today, they stop in our little country. I think this is a very cool promotion idea, and who knows, maybe some will follow? Anyway, the Candy Claws perform an exclusive video today here in Switzerland. Here's Flashy Storm , and [...]
"Testing..testing...one...two. .." "krrkkkkssshhccchhhbzzzzzz" Cripes, I never expected to deal with these sort of problems when I agreed to become a virtual venue. First, Candy Claws's bizzarro backstage requests, and now a useless lump of a virtual roadie - I downloaded him from freeware so it's probably my fault. Well it looks like things are just about fixed up, so I'll hand you over to the brilliant Candy Claws, who I am very proud to have presenting exclusive music on my weblog... [...]
Some time ago, I was asked to be a part of a very special world-tour with the band Candy Claws , who released a fine album on indiecater records earlier this year. The tour is not a usual world-tour, but a virtual one, and probably one of the first of its kind. The band has set up a full tour schedule on their blog, and will travel from website to website, all in different countries, presenting a new side of themselves, - sometimes with videos, sometimes with songs and [...]
