Trick Candles formed in early 2014 in Seattle by Robbie Luna (Panama Gold, The Royal Bear) and Prisilla Ray (Cute Lepers, Sweet Pups) with the intention of making music that is dance-able with a nostalgic feel. They performed at festivals such as SXSW and Fisherman's Village prior to any album release. In December 2015 they were joined by Scott Langdon on drums and Nick Werts on guitar. Alyssa Martini joined the line up in December 2016 to cover bass, synth, and vocal duties.

They draw heavily from pop's past (The Cure, New Order, and Psychedelic Furs, Berlin, Blondie) with an ear for progressive synth-wave with a dance-able feel. 

They just finished an EP with accomplished producer, Martin Feveyear.
