**South Carolina dream-gazers Candy Coffins present ‘Seaside Girls’ ahead of ‘Once
Do It With Feeling’ LP**

_“A compelling example of 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, this song boasts some impressive guitar work and, of course, excellence
in frontman Jame Lathren’s 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=923a750e-4baa-4662-a9aa-71ee55ca0eb3&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-4d7703db8dc9b21e218d801fdd16d3b42dfec339)

_“Candy Coffins take no prisoners with 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”_ ~ **[The Record Stache](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.therecordstache.com%2f2022%2f09%2fcandy%2dcoffins%2demerge%2dwith%2dvigor%2don%2deveryday%2da%2dfresh%2datrocity%2f&umid=923a750e-4baa-4662-a9aa-71ee55ca0eb3&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-35946194d923a2c2e44f23fdafdaf4b28438f02a)**

_“An enthralling and fascinating listen with their sonic imagery, emotional turbulence
and new romantic underpinnings. With a wistful sound and vocal likeness to The Cure’s
Robert Smith, their melancholy interchanges with adrenaline from song to song amidst
picturesque soundscapes and heartfelt lyricism” _~ **[Skylight Webzine](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fskylight.gr%2findex.php%2f2022%2f09%2f19%2fcandy%2dcoffins%2dpresents%2da%2dsun%2ddrenched%2dslice%2dof%2dpost%2dpunk%2din%2dseaside%2dgirls%2f&umid=923a750e-4baa-4662-a9aa-71ee55ca0eb3&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-5731a9d8977c8aa0c928d75fcea6f5e434c3f807)**

“When the pandemic hit, I decided I would not write a dark song as the first one
written during the period. It seemed too easy given the times. It took me three 
months, but we got ‘Seaside Girls’ from the effort, which is an upbeat sun-drenched
rocker on the new album, ‘Once Do It With Feeling.’ It’s all the rage,” says frontman-
songwriter **Jame Lathren**.

Earlier, the band released **[‘Every Day A Fresh Atrocity’](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fsoundcloud.com%2fcandycoffins%2fevery%2dday%2da%2dfresh%2datrocity%2fs%2dnTNPXaRS7mr&umid=923a750e-4baa-4662-a9aa-71ee55ca0eb3&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-a147d15882a09432a0f4f4eca689ffbafe3dda0c)**

created by Jame Lathren, exploring the dark corners and haunting suffocation of 
a broken relationship.

This album showcases mature strides in songwriting, the band relating the themes
addressed both confidently and cohesively. Emotionally and sonically saturated, 
their music boasts Cure-esque textures and melody, as well as the thematic elements
and visceral delivery of The Afghan Whigs.

Lathren notes, “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.”

Vocalist, guitarist and songwriter **Jame Lathren**, a small-town boy who admired
artists who were not on popular radio, 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 post-punk band** **[**Crown The Cake**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fcrownthecake.bandcamp.com&umid=923a750e-4baa-4662-a9aa-71ee55ca0eb3&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-89777ad2e970bcba41f13429353b932a5119f98d),
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**.
Their dynamic and textured approach has contributed to the band’s trademark lush
sound, channeling and bolstering 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.

As of September 20, ‘Seaside Girls’ will be available everywhere digitally, including**
