We're in the process of requesting that all our music be taken off Spotify. It’s Bandcamp Friday, if you’re interested in getting hold of Candidate’s music and a) not funding billionaires investing in AI weaponry b) supporting musicians Ditch Spotify. candidateband.bandcamp.com

Happy May Day. Here's a short film we made in 2002 in preparation for making the album Nuada, before someone walked off with the original Wicker Man's legs. youtu.be/zm-H6lBtqRQ?...

I've been meaning for ages to do a long thread talking about the stuff I've enjoyed over the last year or two. It's not necessarily new stuff, though some is. I'll start with what I'm listening to right now, which is @candidatemusic.bsky.social's Point Clear. candidateband.bandcamp.com 🧵

The cover of Candidate's Point Clear album, which is a lovely woodcut of a fenny waterway, a row of anti-tank blocks running down into the water.

Twenty-one years ago, yesterday, recording bits for the album ‘Under The Skylon’ in East End bedrooms (as usual). I don’t think Alex M had any curtains at that point. Must be the brightest recording session ever. This is recording Mountain Snow and Fatal Dose, we would guess.
