about

Ah! The distant call of a completely original and under-appreciated voice from overseas has lured the hand of Nicey back to Europe, this time to Berlin, where the Argentinian-born, English-singing composer PICTORIAL CANDI has lately been painting her wide-open sonic landscapes. Secret Salts is a collection of masterful, meditative, and freeform songs, seemingly originating but a good way departed from an R&B tradition, with effortlessly enchanting vocal leads, for fans of Solange or FKA Twigs. Anyway, here’s what Candi has to say:

"Seems like you got to have sadness to sustain happiness. Otherwise you’d burn, consumed by joy. It’s perhaps a natural instinct, and that may be why at times it feels so out of our control, because to a great measure, instincts are out of our control. But when this bulk of sadness grows out of proportion, well then, it’s good to have a plan. My plan was to put all the imaginary sorrow in a sort of snow globe and get it away from me, far, to be reminisced and seen at a distance as something beautiful. It worked like a charm, and like most charms, it fed on feelings. So here’s a charm that may work for your teenage mind with an absorption of excess at 95% and a bonus of sweet nerdy harmonies, Hal Hartley counterpoints and other more obscure musical and literary appreciations. Is this still Dream pop? Gimme a call if you wanna talk."

EU release also available from Mansions & Millions.
