Product Overview
Beat Happening - Black Candy (Reissue 2022 LP LP) On November 11, Domino will release vinyl reissues of the entire catalogue of Beat Happening, the seminal Olympia, Washington trio that transformed the Pacific Northwest underground music scene in the ‘80s and ‘90s. In 2019, the band released We Are Beat Happening, a career-spanning box set that featured versions of their albums newly remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios. The box set, hailed as “a monument to the spartan trio’s music and their seismic influence on the indie rock that followed in their wake” by Pitchfork, is now sold out. The remastered versions of the six albums - 1985’s Beat Happening, 1988’s Jamboree, 1989’s Black Candy, 1991’s Dreamy, 1992’s You Turn Me On, and the 2003 rarities and B-sides compilation Music to Climb the Apple Tree By - will now be available as separate LPs for the first time. Is it okay to call Black Candy a departure? A Jungian descent into a darker psychological state? If the starkness of the cover art wasn’t enough of a harbinger, the edgier tone of Black Candy coupled with all this lyrical talk about gravediggers, lost boyfriends, ghosts and… pajama parties is enough to wonder just how close to the bonfire Beat Happening were willing to dance. Comes with an MP3 and WAV download card. TRACKLIST Side One 1. Other Side 2. Black Candy 3. Knick Knack 4. Pajama Party In A Haunted Hive 5. Gravedigger Blues Side Two 6. Cast A Shadow 7. Bonfire 8.
