Twitteresting: Candy Claws on NPR’s Second Stage
Not trying to turn this into a Candy Claws fanblog, but you have to report the news that fits and give credit where credit is due. Plus, it’s always a nice time to see members of the EDJ family move up and up.
Our longtime pal-os in Candy Claws are turning up in quite a few places. In October they were the subject of Pitchfork’s Forkast. It now seems the once-hipster-now-career-holder listeners are ready for them, or so I would guess from a tweet by NPR’s All Songs Considered:

Well, isn’t that tasty? So are the kind words from the writeup:
“After two years of writing and recording, the band self-released the stunning album early this year and were signed to the Irish label Indiecater in the fall…It’s impossible to pinpoint all of the sounds going on at one time, but digging in further yields even more surprising noises and little details that really make the music beautiful.”
You can read the rest of those kind words here, as well as listen to the featured song “Catamaran.”
Everyday Joe’s is proud of you, Candy Claws. Proud like when your child gets stitches for the first time and doesn’t shed a tear.
