Reissued under the band’s new home record label, Sugar Candy Mountain Records. Features bonus track “Sucette” from original 2016 recordings. Limited to 1000 worldwide. LA\/Joshua Tree based Sugar Candy Mountain deliver carefully built psychedelic odes in the style of Jacco Gardner and Tame Impala. Their breakout album \u003ci\u003e666\u003c\/i\u003e feels like something unearthed from a box of records found in your dad's garage, glowing wistfully with vintage inspired tones, rambling organs, fuzzed out guitars, shimmering keys and sprawling drums. Ash Reiter's woolly voice croons with the icy warmth of Francoise Hardy, while Will Halsey's tender Lennon-esque vocals uncoil with easy languor. Recorded with Jason Quever of Papercuts, the bands sophomore album sits comfortably between 60's Laurel Canyon bliss and more modern production of Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips\/Tame Impala). \u003ci\u003e666\u003c\/i\u003e is the band's first record after deciding to retire Ash Reiter's eponymous solo project to focus solely on Sugar Candy Mountain. With this shift Ash became more heavily invested in writing for the project. On \u003ci\u003e666\u003c\/i\u003e the band moves away from the grandiose production of their previous album, Mystic Hits, on which some songs featured over two hundred instrument tracks. The majority of basic tracking was done on Jason Quever's 16 track Ampex tape machine through a Neve console, and completed at the bands home studio. Under Quever's guiding hand, production on \u003ci\u003e666\u003c\/i\u003e is significantly simplified, favoring featuring strong melodies over the wildly playful orchestrations of\u003ci\u003e Mystic Hits\u003c\/i\u003e. Quever is also significantly featured on the record as a player, with his influence distinctly coloring the album. Also Available From Sugar Candy Mountain: Mystic Hits LP, Do Right LP \/ CD. A lush, near-narcotic indiepop sound and a wicked sense of humor that underlines the abstract nihilism of it’s lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sugar Candy Mountain","offers":[{"title":"Pink LP","offer_id":50400130826571,"sku":"2180382","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Sugar_Candy_Mountain__666_c00055f5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726510613"},{"product_id":"mystic-hits-3","title":"Mystic Hits","description":"\u003cp\u003eHelping to spearhead a revival of neo-psychedelic pop, California's Sugar Candy Mountain emerged in the early 2010s fusing sunny, retro sounds with lush, sophisticated composition. Ranging from lo-fi experimentation to vibrant Tropicália, early releases like 2013's \u003ci\u003eMystic Hits \u003c\/i\u003esoon gave way to a brighter, synth-driven brand of psychpop on 2018's \u003ci\u003eDo Right.\u003c\/i\u003e Sugar Candy Mountain's evolution continued with their eclectic fifth album, Impression, in 2021. The band initially began oin 2010 as the recording project of Oakland-based musician Will Halsey. From early on, his partnership with collaborator Ash Reiter yielded a unique sound blending classic '60s West Coast psychedelia with pastoral folk and pulling inspiration from pop experimentalists like Brazil's Os Mutantes, the Flaming Lips, and Brian Wilson. The band's self-titled 2011 debut drew largely from Halsey's early, more lo-fi recordings. By the time of 2013's \u003ci\u003eMystic Hits\u003c\/i\u003e, Sugar Candy Mountain had evolved into a fully fledged live group with Halsey and Reiter at the helm. The album also expanded on their Brazilian influences and was partially recorded in São Paulo. Reissued for it's 10th Anniversary, \u003ci\u003eMystic Hits\u003c\/i\u003e returns to vinyl under their newly minted home record label, Sugar Candy Mountain Records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sugar Candy Mountain","offers":[{"title":"Orange LP","offer_id":50447225422155,"sku":"2180383","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Sugar_Candy_Mountain_-_Mystic_Hits_36ccc8d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727074068"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/sugar-candy-mountain-2.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
