Swedish Death Candy – ‘It Won’t Be Long’

  As ‘It Won’t Be Long’ opens it immediately reminds me of Dead Meadow’s ‘Sleepy Silver Door’ – a track I love so much that I’ve been known to air guitar along to the track whenever it’s brought up in conversation – but it soon becomes obvious that Swedish Death Candy are not satisfied with mere stoner rock jams. Fast-paced, heavily psychedelic guitar riffery is their game, and they want to mangle our brains with it. They support the Ty Segall-tipped and Three Beams favourites Wand at London’s Old Blue Last on May 24th – a gig to miss at your peril.
