Event Details
Helping to spearhead a revival of neo-psychedelic pop, California's Sugar Candy Mountain fuses sunny, retro sounds with lush, sophisticated composition. Blending classic '60s West Coast psychedelia with pastoral folk and pulling inspiration from pop experimentalists and Brazilian Tropicalia. Their latest album "Do Right" takes a more modern approach layering vibrant synths alongside more organic instrumentation. Oscillating between the hazy psychedelic pop of Mild High Club, the driving energy of Tame Impala and the danceable familiarity of The Supremes, the band is a perfect cocktail of old and new, imploring the listener to take a ride into the sunset with Sugar Candy Mountain.
Joining them will be a band called Kibi James from Atlanta. With roots in Ethiopia, Mexico, and Venezuela there is a world music element that comes through between their catchy riffs and smooth melodies. With no official releases they have managed to establish a name for themselves in the underground scene. Their sound is still developing, and with every track taking a different direction there is something for everyone to enjoy. Their debut EP is set to release this fall.
Additionally, Jacksonville's own Animal Clinic will warm it up with their own twist on sultry pop with underground flare. Smooth melodies for comfortable orbit.
