What the critics have said about Candidate their music:
“A superb band. One of the best in Britain.” – Stuart Maconie, BBC Radio 6
“Candidate are Britain’s most tasteful, witty and thoughtful band. Joyous… splices Nick Drake’s pastoral euphoria with West Coast hippie harmonies… thrums like early Fairport Convention.” – Stewart Lee, Sunday Times Album Of The Week
“Like Midlake’s ‘The Trials Of Van Occupanther’,
the results blend ancient and modern sensibilities… A well-crafted, engrossing work of the imagination.” – The Independent
“With their beautifully spun vocal harmonies, thoughtful lyrics and alluring melodies, the band recall the likes of Crosby Stills & Nash… while always keeping one foot in the ancient roots of Brit-folk.” – Uncut Magazine
“Definitely an album of the year.” – BBC Radio 2 Folk & Acoustic Show
“A folk rock classic” – Sunday Times
“A modern folk record of haunting grace and
beauty. A precious, audacious album.” – NME
“A gem of superior British folk music.” – Sunday Times, Albums Of The Year
