The Candy Strypers - epop021 (2012)




9.2

/Indie pop, Singer-songwriter, Covers, Alternative pop, Jangle pop/  

Comment: behind The Candy Strypers is the mancunian Paul Hughes whose 3-piece set is an amalgamation of fine guitar strumming and chiming harmony glides. It is pleasing,organic, and sometimes epic (e specially at Don`t Forget Your Dreams which is accentuated with sublime orchestrations). There is up a cover version of Born On A Train, a song by Stephin Merritt aka The Magnetic Fields. A tiny bit retro but any moment it provides it is on the ball.
