Heaven is Here! I was a little worried last year that CANDY had broken up, but instead they were cooking up an incredibly nasty LP and they’ve blasted that out today. Elsewhere, Soccer Mommy has some nice new tunes and Young Guv is as prolific as ever with a whole new LP of jangly, sugary pop music.
