The band was originaly formed by Isabelle AndrFs and Julien Retaillaud : Isabelle had already played in a few bands in Paris (but none of them very famous) and Julien was composing, alone in his small dorm room, until he eventually decided to look for other musicians with whom he could share his ideas about music. For a whole year, CANDLE remained a simple "duo". Isabelle and Julien signed with LITHIUM, a French record company and recorded a mini-CD called "Beginning Blue" in November 1991. Described by the Melody Maker as "gloriously scratchy, blurred, stoned, hazy, disorienting, claustrophobic and enchanting", this EP attracted attention not only in France but also in England. It showed that, even influenced by Anglo-Saxon music (among which Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine to name two of them), a French groupe could still have a personal style, and be casually startling and surprising. Just after the release of their "Beginning Blue" EP, Isabelle and Julien finally managed to find two other musicians who were able to understand and share their ideas and also to melt into the alchemy of CANDLE. -=- SHGZ -=- P.S. ** Thanks *** *** BCC FNT IPC SSR *** *** For Knowing Where The Music Is At *** *** Props to CaHeSo, awesome Asian Indie/Shoegaze *** *** And to FANG/HOUND for supporting all the Indie lovers out there *** --===-- ********************* * NuHS we miss you! * *********************
