The Titan Spring Single is almost ready to be released. But for those of you who want to hear the new edited version of the track before the official release, drop by Candle’s Reverbnation Page & listen to the track (along with an assortment of other tracks – mostly demo versions of album tracks that are not available elsewhere).

Purchase The New Album: Moonscapes
See You In The Shadows…
After a few delays (sorry) & a few technical glitches (damn technology), Candle’s seventh full length studio album was released yesterday (I know, this blog post is a day late, but this whole project has ended up behind schedule… 😦 ). You can download the entire album for a small fee (in Canadian Dollars, so if you’re paying in another currency it’s probably even cheaper!). However, to get even a better deal (because converting to Canadian funds isn’t a deal enough) – get over to Candle’s Bandcamp site & download the Eagle Landing Promo Single & get a coupon for 50% off the price of Moonscapes. Could this deal get any sweeter?
Stay tuned for the official press release for the album as well as information regarding the new single from the album which includes a bunch of exclusive B-Sides.

See You In The Shadows…
A stereotypical heading to explain the current situation. I’ll start with the bad news first. The release of Moonscapes has been delayed due to a couple tracks needing just a wee bit more TLC. However, the good news is that I just released a promo single for the album. The song is called Eagle Landing & is available now for free download (or pay what you would like) from Candle’s Bandcamp Site. Check out the new song, let me know what you think in the comments section below & stay tuned for the official release of Moonscapes.
Until next time,
See You In The Shadows…
“Man is but a bridge to the Übermensche.” This is the statement being made with Candle’s latest single: Übermensche, released today on Layaway Records. Übermensche is the second single from Candle’s sixth studio album: Vibrations, which was released in the fall of 2014. The song & its B-Side were written in February 2014 as part of the annual online song writing challenge February Album Writing Month (http://www.fawm.org). Ken Ficara, a fellow FAWM participant, writes of Heartbeat: “The very pretty little piano melody over the wall-of-drone is extremely effective. This is quite a track.”
Darby Spicer’s ongoing experimental space rock project Candle fuses psychedelic & progressive rock stylings with ambient sounds & textures that create emotion driven soundscapes that only need to be experienced to be understood. Darby composes various pieces built on the idea of feelings that can be provoked in the individual listener. It is his intention to stir up true emotions through the medium of music & philosophical poetry. Like a candle burning brightly, he wants to show the contrast of light & dark in the greyest area of human existence: that of the soul.
Übermensche & its B-Side, Cær Sidi (Ancient Sources Remix), can be downloaded from Candle’s Bandcamp page: candle.bandcamp.com; where listeners can name the price they feel the download warrants. The download also includes album artwork, printable liner note collector cards, CD label, as well as bonus material.

My timeline for the mastering & final delivery of the new Candle studio album, Vibrations, has stagnated. To be honest, I have not even contemplated working on it for over a month now. Well, that is not entirely true: fleeting thoughts have momentarily floated through my consciousness, reminding me of the unfinished work I have yet to complete in this regard. But beyond these small reminders that have yet to be acted upon, my mind & my energies have been directed at other pursuits.
Such is the fickleness of human attention.
I am constantly blaming the mundane for the distractions in my life – an assement which is a bit of a crutch. It is an easy out in my mind. An old, well worn tool that passifies any anxieties I feel. I can simply blame the world & its demands upon me for keeping me from doing the things I know I need to achieve. And this goes beyond the performance & creation of my music. It applies to all aspects of my complex & multi-faceted life. The mundane is my scapegoat. One I constantly call upon when I do not wish to look at the deeper causes of my own stagnation.
Today is the last day of a three day “weekend” (I am currently working nights & weekends at work, so my “weekend” happens mid-week) thanks to Remembrance Day. Though I have ticked off some of the items on my To Do List, there is much I did not achieve. One of these items is continuing to Master Vibrations. Well, fear not loyal Candle Fans & other followers of my unique musings: I am going into my studio after lunch & dedicating the afternoon to working on Vibrations. It is high time that I finish this project that started in February. It is time to be ready to release the album to the world. It is time, indeed – it is Truly time.
