If you want to taste the epitome of psych-rock, Radio Vision’s latest single, “Candy”—with its trailing drunk-dazed vocals— demands a listen. Get into the hypnotic world of addictive, toxic relationships with “Candy”’s junction of fuzzy melodies and aching vocals.
From the opening drums that smack down with splashing cymbals to the electric guitar humming along with its bends, “Candy” sets the stage for a mesmerizing sonic experience. The harmonica adds a high-pitched melody and textured groove that sort of mimics a sharp pang of anguish, enhancing the song’s psychedelic atmosphere.
Lead vocalist Ben Stephenson’s voice trails as though influenced by psychedelics, conveying a sense of heartache and agony tinged with a hint of drunkenness. As he sings of a lover who tastes just like candy and is too pretty for their devilish nature, the lyrics evoke imagery of indulgence and desire entwined with toxicity.
Radio Vision got Dan Johnson on bass, Haji Habiju on rhythm guitar, and Stirling Larson on drums, with each curating this tangy and rock-filled zesty adventure of “Candy.” Ben Stephenson spearheads the team with lead guitar, vocals, and harmonica. The song’s creation, born from a spontaneous jam session between Ben and Haji, reflects the band’s commitment to artistic experimentation and collaborative songwriting.
With “Candy,” Radio Vision delivers psych-rock for the modern age—a hypnotic blend of nostalgia and innovation that captivates listeners from start to finish.
For those still stuck in your deluded phase, definitely check out “Candy.” It might be just the right amount of sweet for you.
