Danger To Dream presents a powerful, cinematic soundscape, with Kandle breathing poetry into the darker corners of life over a thrum of trip-hop beats, tasty hooks and hauntingly hypnotic vocals. “The seductive soundscape of 90’s alternative trip-hop has always felt consistently poetic, sexy, emotional and haunting to me. It has always been a genre that has moved me deep in my core and a world that I had never before dared to explore until now,” she says.
While moonlit melodies have become a signature of Kandle’s sound, we start to see the light on Danger To Dream. Not a holy white glow, but a raging flame, ready to burn its path to enlightenment. Kandle shares, “The album is raw, heavy, honest and brave, but there is also a healthy supply of levity, wit and good old fashioned rock outs. Like all things in life, finding a balance is crucial.”
Originally from BC, the now Montreal-based Kandle was first signed at 19 years old to a Quebec-based indie imprint. Since then, she has toured internationally, received nominations for both a Juno and Prism Prize, and has had a myriad of high-profile collaborations, including Jack White, July Talk, and more recently members of Eagles of Death Metal in the outlaw country group, Midnight Cowgirls (Licorice Pizza Records).
In truth, Kandle has returned to form in every possible way: back to her chosen hometown of Montreal, back to her roots of dark and moody rock, back to her signature slinky vocal delivery reminiscent of both a late-night jazz singer and pop diva. It’s arena-sized rock via the cozy confines of a home studio. Danger To Dream sees Kandle as a fully realized artist, achieving the finest balance of both mastery and ingenuity.
