The return of Candidate has been one of the most welcome occurrences of recent years and while Point Clear, their first album of original tunes since 2007 is reassuringly superb, it's another release we'll turn our attention to here.
I've written before of my love for their album Nuada, an alternative soundtrack to the classic folk-horror film the Wicker Man featuring their own compositions and steeped in atmosphere provided by visiting the original filming locations (and even staying in the hotel featured in the film).
Avellenau is a welcome extension of Nuada, featuring Candidate's interpretations of four of the films most important songs. There's really no need for me to write anymore here. You know the songs. You know the band. You know they belong together.
Sadly, I discovered the existence of this EP too late to secure a physical copy of the very limited CD (dammit!) but it's all here to be streamed or downloaded from Bandcamp:
