Candy - Flipping [Indie Exclusive Red LP]

Candy's second album of 2024 is their most potent release yet. Returning to Triple B Records, the definitive DIY hardcore label of the 2010s and beyond, FLIPPING is a shocking blend of sounds at once old-school and never before heard. An exploration of hedonism and self-destruction, the album's 6 songs are as intoxicating as the unidentifiable cocktail of uppers and psychedelics taken at an after-hours, and as crushing as the cold feelings of self-loathing that come the morning after.Depicting the long term global effects of America's ritualistic pleasure-seeking habits, Andrew Barnes' art visually represents an album whose mix, courtesy of producer/engineer Kurt Ballou, is as loud and abrasive as the sound system in a Vegas strip club.
