Sugar Candy Mountain 666 Strawberry Lime Splatter Vinyl Edition

LA/Joshua Tree based Sugar Candy Mountain deliver carefully built psychedelicodes in the style of Jacco Gardner and Tame Impala. Their breakout album 666feels like something unearthed from a box of records found in your dad's garage,glowing wistfully with vintage inspired tones, rambling organs, fuzzed out guitars,shimmering keys and sprawling drums. Ash Reiter's woolly voice croons with the icywarmth of Francoise Hardy, while Will Halsey's tender Lennon-esque vocals uncoilwith easy languor. Recorded with Jason Quever of Papercuts, the bandssophomore album sits comfortably between 60's Laurel Canyon bliss and moremodern production of Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips/Tame Impala).666 is the band's first record after deciding to retire Ash Reiter's eponymous soloproject to focus solely on Sugar Candy Mountain. With this shift Ash became moreheavily invested in writing for the project. On 666 the band moves away from thegrandiose production of their previous album, Mystic Hits, on which some songsfeatured over two hundred instrument tracks. The majority of basic tracking wasdone on Jason Quever's 16 track Ampex tape machine through a Neve console, andcompleted at the bands home studio. Under Quever's guiding hand, production on666 is significantly simplified, favoring featuring strong melodies over the wildlyplayful orchestrations of Mystic Hits. Quever is also significantly featured on therecord as a player, with his influence distinctly coloring the album.
