What are people saying about SpazCandy?!

"Cluttered mind? Wash it out with SpazCandy! One listen and your mind is wiped clean with a sweet, gooey, pop/ acid, confection! A full album of guilty pleasure songs. Clear your mind with SpazCandy! "

-Vinnie Zummo (Musician, Swinging Guitar Sounds Of Young America, Vol. 1,2,3/Joe Jackson Band)

"The pop artists behind SPAZCANDY are clearly engaged in a hot, sweaty love affair with pop music. The clearest evidence of this is the fact that they don't just pay homage to one particular pop sound - they pay homage to, well... all of them. And yet they somehow also manage to sound completely original. It's like some kind of acid-tinged black magic."

-David Lee White, (Author, Fantomas In America)

"SPAZCANDY rocks. I've been a fan of Becca Ayers for several years, and this collaboration with Bradley Dean Whyte does not disappoint. Their lyrics are offbeat and messy like life, with a mash-up of innocence and worldliness, hope and cynicism. The beats are catchy and hummable. The sound emanates a pure joy and love of music, with melodies and harmonies that invite the listener to join in on that love fest. I guess that's what makes SPAZCANDY such a satisfying listen. Ayers and Whyte are playing WITH you, not AT you. You are transported to their apartment. You are lying on the worn IKEA rug nursing a warm beer, getting a fossilized piece of pretzel stuck to your elbow, because, let's face it, they're not the best housekeepers in town."

-David Caudle, Playwright

Carolyn Oates tours extensively in her native Australia, sells out medium size theatres in Germany, and has worked with some reasonably well-known names, including Greg Arnold, David Ross MacDonald (The Waifs), and producer David Carr, who manned the desk for "In The Moment". She's yet to make major headway in the UK, but with the international release of her latest collection, that may just change.

The singer-songwriter-guitarist has been compared to artists like Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega and Tracey Thorn; names that provide all the clues you need with regard to her chosen genre. In essence she's a folk singer / musician, but with a superior ear for a tune and plenty of pop nous. In fact, tailor-made for contemporary adult radio, though that's obviously easier said than done. Should the BBC come-a-knocking, I'm happy to recommend a few titles: released as a single, "Trash and Treasure" is lyrically hard-hitting, but packs bundles of melody into its four minutes. "Advice to the Young" is beautifully orchestrated and arranged, and Oates' phrasing grabs the ear, and "Nature Boy" is clean-cut, shiny and bright, and echoes through the mind long after it's over. It's an album that's complex and multifaceted, but always accessible and likeable. If grown up singer-songwriters, or literate folk-pop is your thing, then don't delay. By Leicester Bangs

Tamar&Netanel create Folk music from the mountains of Jerusalem. They tell stories from the heart, alongside the never-ending inspiration from nature and from the human soul. The simple melodies, alongside stories about life, love and nature, are wrapped with Jerusalem mountains atmosphere.

The duo's debut album, Peace of Mind, was released in 2015 (includes 10 songs, 9 in English and one in Hebrew) and integrates between the simplicity of classic American folk music in a contemporary interaction, and Tamar and Netanel's Jewish roots. The first single released, "Oh Lord", is actually a private conversation with god (or what the Breslov Hasidic call it: "Hitbodedut" - self-seclusion). The theme song "Peace of Mind" talks about the spirituality of the nature, also an important issue in the Hasidic Judaism. T the only Hebrew song in the album, “Nigun”, is an original tune set to the lyrics written by Rabbi Kook describing Unconditional Love – a widely known Jewish principle with a universal message. This song reflects the couple’s desire to blur religious, cultural and human limitations and boundaries. In fact, when "Oh Lord" came out, one of the first requests they received was from a Protestant minister from Louisiana, USA, who asked if they would mind if he used their song in his Sunday Mass.

The couple’s writings are inspired by the changing seasons and peacefulness of nature, which is sometimes the only force able to soothe an aching soul. The album’s texts are in effect short stories of light and darkness, disappointment and hope and love and faith. The music magazine “Noise” wrote of their lyrics: “When Tamar&Netanel want to tell a story, they don’t imitate the legendary folk performers – they speak in their language.”

The clean sound and production of their music is relatively devoid of embellishment, and is based on the simplicity found in classic American folk music, while utilizing the qualities of modern sound techniques and contemporary interpretations. The album’s tunes are extremely melodious and in some ways even characterize the simplicity of children’s songs. The texts are wrapped in a melodious atmosphere of serenity, which results in the portraying of a musical story.

In their second album, "Pure As Gold", Tamar&Netanel continue to tell musical stories from the heart, with the never-ending inspiration from nature and the human soul.v

Carving out a niche for themselves, Sillken brings to the stage personality and panache with an overlay of chic and reality with their fusion of rootsy folk pop-rock. Sillken's music is eclectic, ranging from heart wrenching lyrics to pure fun, all wrapped up in a clean delivery. Proudly replicating no one, their songs are fresh and sweet resisting cookie cutter formulae. Rooted in brutal honesty, autobiography, fiction, fact and the craft of storytelling, Sillken's music reflects 'outside of the box' production, setting them apart yet reminiscent of legends such as Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Mazzie Star, Neil Young, Emmy Lou Harris, Nico-Christa Päffgen, and Tom Waits.

In the summer 2004, formed by Sonia Ka Ian Lao (vocals), Brandon Lamn (guitars) and Faye Choi (producing), the trio released their first EP “Evade” in September 2009. Despite the fact that it was released on a Macau-based label, with the help of Kitchen. Label producer Ricks Ang (who also mastered the EP and the album "Destroy & Dream"), the band attracted critical notice in Japan for their inventive and original style of electronic music, described by some as a wayward blend of minimalist electronic and dubstep combined with an ethereal pop sensibility. In August 2010, Evade was invited by Japanese independent music label PROGRESSIVE FOrM to perform at their curated event “New Sounds of Tokyo Vol.6″. Evade has also toured Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, and Singapore, and has lent support to Kashiwa Daisuke, ASPIDISTRAFLY and Flica’s Asian tours.

Evade builds tension through sustained silences and broken down electronic arrangements by Faye Choi, electronic whiz kid and producer of the band. Sonia Ka Ian Lao, an award-winning poet and novelist, pens poignant mantras and softly expresses them in layers of arresting whispers in her native Mandarin dialect Cantonese in “Forgetting”, “Endless” and “God”. As much an imagist as a writer, she creates these characters and Freudian dream-like scenarios that seem circle each other in unpredictable rhythms, intersecting without premeditation. In “Crush”, a carefully-crafted dream pop elegy, Brandon L strums the guitar so languidly as if in acceptance with the disenchantment of the world, and all is swallowed beneath a symphony of bit crushed synths and white noise.

What seems like a continuous vision of despair is destroyed as if the Looking Glass has shattered – in “Love”, all self-seriousness and heroism is clean forgotten now as disorienting, idiosyncratic elements are spasmodically injected – these are puzzling as they are almost self-depreciating, for here lies what really makes Evade so elusive. In “Seeking Mr. Freud” and “Pavillion”, textures are unconventionally amalgamated with minimalist beat loops, traditional oriental instrumentation and fragments of sounds sampled from old Hong Kong films. Despite the mélange of growing-up influences such as Cocteau Twins and Slowdive, Evade may be just what you get when James Blake meets Cocorosie. A slowing burning eruption on all counts, the moments in “Destroy and Dream” are excruciatingly intimate one moment and hauntingly deconstructed the next, yet these are powerfully sequenced images, with flashes of light that cut through the haze of illicit memories.

The album also features three remixes by three acclaimed producers/musicians from Japan. FJORDNE pushes the boundary of his constantly evolving jazz piano in the remix of “Pavillion”, and it may very well provide a glimpse of his future work. Lastly, Serph from established Japanese independent label noble and arguably one of the brightest new talents in the Japanese electronic music scene adds his masterful interpretation of “Love”.

You have entered into the Dubship. A bond forged long ago in the primordial soup, In Dub we Trust.
Voyage to worlds before unseen.... 
Where Isn'tiz, where you won't even want what you need ..... visible now only because the lens of the telescope has been wiped clean. A world where Guitar gods and Flute Avatars battle for punctuality, the UniversaL iEye lets you in on the fact you've been stuffed into a box of color-coated ignore-mints and the Dubliminal message is forced in to the firelight. Where sucka MC's who whine about Gucci bags find no silver lining.  Where you dont have to wake to see the shun-chimes.  Where escaping your fate is as easy as following your own destiny and all your drinks are free, Y'know we're living in a soluble society. Remember an eye for an eye may leave the whole world blind, but at least it leaves 'em harkening.
Biography	
The story continues...... There is no reason to close the chapter. Keep y'self modulated... The road is long and hot, the shade spares no one.
