Candle – Burn Brightly EP

There’s always time for a country care package from Los Angeles, and newcomers Candle are ticking a lot of boxes around here. The band’s new EP, Burn Brightly, just gained a new life, dipping out of digital-only territory with a 7” release from RSTB faves Curation. The band balances sun-dappled country-psych with a nice veneer of hiss, adding to the the feeling of unearthing a private press treasure. The EP clips into Byrds jangles and softly tangled harmonies, washing over the listener in waves of tweed ’n twang. Like a fond, but faded memory of a jukebox gem heard playing from the truck-stop speakers, half-remembered, half-reconstructed, the band turns desert heat into hummable hooks laced with steel and strum. The digital EP is out now, with the physical set to surface this December.
