**CANDY COFFINS ‘Tangled Up in Teacups’ takes a Cure-esque dive into a relationship
in a tailspin.**

_**The ‘Once Do It With Feeling’ album is out now**_

_“Lush instrumentation and sombre storytelling. Their gothic post-punk vortex engulfs
you. Poignant vocal melodies swoon amongst soft guitars and expansive synths to 
craft a song that will continue wandering the sonic corridors of your mind”_ ~ **

_“A passionately powerful collection that, while steeped in pop nostalgia, is loaded
with resonant melodies and an overall denser shimmer…channels the best from 1980s
music in modern compositions that are entirely appealing for the here and now”_

_“The band at their considerable best, walking a fine-tuned line between darkness
and the silver-lining of new romanticism. Haunting with loads of energy… nervous,
edgy vocal delivery”_ ~** **[**Amplify Music Magazine**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2famplifymusicmag.com%2fpremiere%2dcandy%2dcoffins%2dpreview%2dlead%2dsingle%2deveryday%2da%2dfresh%2datrocity%2dfrom%2dforthcoming%2dlp%2f&umid=adcf70dc-b37d-4e82-bcec-872de5f51d41&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-3197b60a3c360d07a5ca6343b3620c37a3cbd301)

a superb single showcasing the third act crescendo of a relationship in a tailspin–
the detachment, the anger, the self-absorption, the exhaustion. It is a waltz of
protection via insulating flippancy and a voice that reveals one’s entire arc of
emotions.

The accompanying video, which juxtaposes a pensive and inaccessible **Jame Lathren**
with stunning ballet dancers **Mira Lathren **and** Bella Leone** in an urban landscape,
was produced and** **directed by [**The Pierson Collective**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.thepierson.com%2fportfolio&umid=adcf70dc-b37d-4e82-bcec-872de5f51d41&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-6235f1dd96aef75c2744740fecc7002279c3e622).

This song can be found on the band’s new album [**‘Once Do It With Feeling’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fcandycoffins.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2fonce%2ddo%2dit%2dwith%2dfeeling&umid=adcf70dc-b37d-4e82-bcec-872de5f51d41&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-36cda0664b455566790ffde3f4fa1313a5438f2d)**,**
a 10-track collection considered to be their best work to date. With Cure-esque 
textures and melody, as well as thematic elements and the visceral delivery of The
Afghan Whigs, this record showcases solid songwriting, an approach and delivery 
that is confident and cohesive, as well as emotional and sonic saturation.

“The full album chronicles a relationship from the onset of the first crack to its
complete crumbling dissolution. All the feelings and emotions of tumult are captured
here, from both persons’ perspectives,” says frontman-songwriter **Jame Lathren**.

Earlier, the band released two singles – **[‘Every Day A Fresh Atrocity’](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fyoutu.be%2fWvObdkAE0Ms&umid=adcf70dc-b37d-4e82-bcec-872de5f51d41&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-6e3b2683d228edd9fae50bc81a9d3d9b3a466094)**,
exploring the dark corners and haunting suffocation of a broken relationship, and
[**‘Seaside Girls’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fyoutu.be%2fk50dnhmZTjk&umid=adcf70dc-b37d-4e82-bcec-872de5f51d41&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-dda5cbe0a47b9f5bff37cb0b0b8f9b6fd1a699cb),
paying tribute to the playful abandon of youth with a healthy dose of indierock.

Vocalist, guitarist and songwriter** Jame Lathren** formed Candy Coffins in 2018
in Columbia, South Carolina. A cultural outcast, his resilience, sensitivity and
hyper-awareness of his emotional state would ultimately permeate his own music, 
getting right to the heart of the emotions surrounding the human condition.

After disbanding his previous band** **[**Crown The Cake**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fcrownthecake.bandcamp.com&umid=adcf70dc-b37d-4e82-bcec-872de5f51d41&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-5363eb4821c33a2ff15c1149711eba133658a9c4),
he formed Candy Coffins with hometown guitar legend **Tom Alewine (Bachelors of 
Art)**, followed by seasoned music scene veterans **Alex Mabrey** on bass and **
Justin Purdy** on keys, and former **Iron & Wine **touring drummer **Jonathan Bradley**.
With dynamic and textured approach, the band’s trademark lush sound bolsters Lathren’s
emotive songwriting and delivery.

With tasteful nods to Joy Division, The Cure, The Psychedelic Furs, The Afghan Whigs
and The Cult, as well as contemporaries like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spiritualized,
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Interpol, Candy Coffins’ sound is dark and emotionally
restless, but with elements of hope and elation. Defiantly unique, their sound is
a welcome respite from musical mediocrity.
