Hair by aliens – whispers in a glass garden:
There is no band philosophy. Philosophy plays with the mind – music
with the soul; with our emotions - although
we do like to play with both. You
see, we are PLAYFUL! When you are single music is your lover – when you
are in a relationship with another, she, or he, becomes your mistress or
mister-ess; your secret.An intense affair
filled with all that that brings.
We
sprinkle our Duse in a glass garden so that she becomes drenched in
verbena; waterfalls in sound – an immersion occasionally torn through
and bled back with sonic mayhem.
Atoms split; velcro rips, and there
is the promise of something frenzied; the edge of ecstasy. Sex whispers,
enticingly, and a heart fills with graffiti: she is redeemed!
candytree philosophy
'candytree' is a band and not a 'brand'; a distinction that sometimes
seems to have escaped the zeitgeist's attention. candytree curled up in
our metaphorical 'queen size' in February 2008 and started dropping
pixies in
your static with increased verve and
abandon.
We write songs, music (whatever you perceive it to be)
that should cause you to throw furniture in a fit of ecstatic abandon or
reel you into moments of quiet euphoric
contemplation. It should RELEASE you
from any state of torpor in which you may – and only may – at times
find yourself, hopelessly helplessly confined.
We do this for
love-stuck and starstruck valentines.Feel
the gentle and sometimes passionate
brutality of these kisses of unconfined passion and desire as we aviate
and avatar, towards you and with you.
