Lead-single: CELESTIAL CANDYFLOSS

Rhys about the song: ”It’s an attempted pocket symphony about the cosmic lengths
that people will travel in the pursuit of love and acceptance.” and about the video. “Mark James has brought the Sadness Sets Me Free album cover to life & managed to place me watching TV interference in a shipping container that’s lost in space.”

Celestial Candyfloss is a poppy, trippy and vibey tune.

3/ ‘The Horror’ by GET WELL SOON (Berlin, Germany)
Fifth LP by singer/storyteller Konstantin Gropper. The record “is about fear in all its forms. Fear as a motivator, as an obstacle, as a consultant, and as a political weapon, both socially and privately”. Sonically it moves, feels and sounds like a musical. A truly intriguing journey.
