Italian indie /psych/alt band New Candys have unveiled their new single “Night Surfer” accompanied by a lyric video.
The track features on their upcoming fifth album ‘The Uncanny Extravaganza‘, set to arrive on May 30 via Fuzz Club. Pre-order it here.
Marking a bold evolution in New Candys’ sound, ‘The Uncanny Extravaganza’ blends their psych-rock roots with fresh electronic influences and cutting-edge production by Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher). Following recent lead single ‘Regicide’ (featured as Single of the Week), ‘Night Surfer’ is danceable garage track with a striking electronic touch in the verses. The titular night surfer symbolising the thrill and danger of big-city nightlife.
New Cands’ Fernando Nuti says of the single: “The night surfer is someone who moves through the night, surrounded by its shadows and artificial lights. But when morning comes and the natural sun rises, sometimes it’s better to forget what happened just hours before.”
About the production of the track, he adds:
“Night Surfer came together in a unique way, showcasing a tight collaboration between all four members. I had the first verse parts ready as early as 2018, while Dario created the instrumental for the choruses last year, which instantly inspired me to come up with a fresh vocal melody. Merging the two parts ultimately completed the track. Francesco added the mid-song break and gave the drums an energetic, borderline feel. The guitars were recorded by myself, Dario, and Emanuele, who also contributed vocals, creating a dialogue within the song.”
Tune in now.
