| Candice Gordon - Smoke In The Air |
Release Date: Out Now
On Ms Gordon's Facebook page her
own description is 'goth-psych she-wizard'. I think that stands up on its own
as an awesome statement of intent but I thought it was worth bringing to your
attention before we get down to the music. This latest single from Berlin based
Candice Gordon, 'Smoke In The Air', is a macabre piece of 60s inspired goth pop
that I fell in love with by the time we got to the 30 second mark. Gordon's
haunting vocal glides smokily over a room where the bass and drums are cooking
up some sort of evil mischief and the guitars are flitting furtively in the
shadows. I wouldn't even raise a surprise eyebrow if you told me that Candice
Gordon is one of Jim Morrison's bastard offspring, such is her effortlessly
theatrical style and sultry air. A truly inspiring tune that would make
Florence Welch, Anna Calvi and PJ Harvey re-evaluate their output.
