The leap in songwriting promises an advance, but the decision to record it in the same way as the billowing, freeform Hidden Lands makes it feel like a missed opportunity.

Though often too big to fully comprehend, Ceres & Calypso is the kind of album you wish you could get lost in, perhaps by opening up a wardrobe and climbing right in.

Candy Claws bring their fuzzy, lo-fi sound together with some creatively arranged psych pop instrumentation for a dream pop album that's musically and sonically dense. It's like biting into a juicy piece of pineapple the size of a tractor-trailer.
So since I gave this a 100, I might as well review it. I remember I originally had this as a 75. I thought that the production was a little weird, I thought that the distortion that they had on the songs made me enjoy it less but, now I absolutely love the production. There's just something so dreamy and magical about the production on this album. It starts out with one of the most beautiful openers, Into the Deep Time (One Sun). This is probably my second favourite song on the album. I really ... read more

Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time Forever is a beautiful example of music being effective and interpreted in many different ways, with every person i've talked to that love this album each give their own personal take on why the sound on here works. For me C&C is wonderful, loud yet calming and incredibly dreamy, although I'd primarily classify this as shoegaze this could also be a perfect dream pop album. Every song presented on here has this immense sense of nostalgia making them all ... read more
Damn, this album made an incredible impression on me, I didn't expect it to be that good, the combination of dream pop and shoeagaze worked out perfectly for this band and the experimental note that is audible throughout the album gave it a very interesting direction that delights with its unique and creative sound. This music reminds me a bit of Animall Collective at the time of their greatness but in a completely new shoegaze edition, the music here is extremely well composed and everything ... read more
