Cottoncandykid

London, UK

With no hope, no morality and no expectations; London's Cotton Candy Kid has emerged from the gutter of various musical projects, having toured on and off in different guises for the last 2 decades. Surfing the void from The Velvet Underground and The Stooges, NIN, Death From Above 1979, Jack White, Nirvana and Queens of the Stone Age; his first self-produced collection came in the form of the early 2020 release: The Virus Sessions '20; a retrospective of melodies, rhythms, concepts and instrumentals that hit from hard glitchy dance to introspective acoustic musings. Later in 2020 saw the release of The Great Leveller; inspired by the ever changing post-pandemic world and a lament upon loss, hope and the numerous pending questions posed; set to a predominantly psychedelic sound. 2021 heralds the release of Black Rabbit, a progression of guitar work and a lament for the mental health impact of the "new normal".
