Cats of Transnistria - Candy Man

― Solitimusic

We're happy to announce that Cats of Transnistria return with their sophomore album ‘Opium’, released via Soliti on the 2nd February 2018. ‘Candy Man’ is the second single from ‘Opium’. The music video is a re-cut of the visually enthralling film 'Svengali' (1931), re-edited by Heta Saukkonen and Henna Hietamäki. The story of the film is based on the mind controlling musician who hypnotises a young belle to fall under his spell. The themes of love, submission, and control are repeated within the story of the song. The album title ’Opium’ refers to two points of reference – Cats of Transnistria vocalist Henna Emilia Hietamäki expands on this: “Firstly, it depicts the atmosphere and the impact of the album. One of the ambitions behind our slowly pulsating music is to soothe the nervous system. The second meaning can be found in the repeated themes behind the songs: hedonism, escapism, addiction and losing oneself.” The album was recorded and mixed by guitarist and sound designer Tuomas Alatalo. Being in total control of the recording process is a further step for the band in widening the soundscapes and being even more specific to the world Cats of Transnistria are creating. In addition to Hietamäki and Alatalo, the violinist Sanna Komi is featured on the album, adding profound beauty through her string arrangements. The film Svengali is public domain. https://www.facebook.com/catsoftransnistria http://solitimusic.com/artists/cats-of-transnistria/ https://catsoftransnistria.bandcamp.com/ https://twitter.com/CatsOfTrans https://www.instagram.com/catsoftransnistria/
