Who is it?
New York troupe ANALOG CANDLE, a group formed by Callum Plews. The band started six years ago when Plews, uncomfortable with the idea of himself as a solo artist, put together a group to play the songs he was writing. The current incarnation took shape after Plews’ move to New York, a move that provided the source material for their upcoming EP Winter ’15, from which their single Trier is taken.
Why should you listen to it?
Trier is dream-pop submerged in the avant-garde, a constantly moving piece of interlocking instruments that create a smooth, flowing synth song, given a solid shape by Emma Tringali and Kim Schulke’s vocals. It’s a song with a graceful kind of charm, a pretty song that pulls the listener into its floating world.
What’s next?
The Winter ’15 EP is released on February 3rd.
