Time to be blown away by the raw and vibrant energy of Hull's post-punk sensation, Candid Faces, in their latest single "Coming Home." Building on the success of "Needle Talk," this infectious track takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
From the get-go, the lo-fi charm engulfs you, setting the stage for an intense post-punk experience. The insistent guitar hook lures you in, and before you know it, punchy drums explode into action, unleashing the spirited vocals of Liz Shaw. Her lyrics touch on abusive relationships, bigotry, and the struggles faced by young souls.
The song may seem like a witty jab at an anti-social character, but beneath the surface lies a profound story. For the band's guitarist, it's a healing process, confronting difficult memories from their past. Candid Faces weaves an intricate tapestry of emotions, not shying away from poignant themes.
