Opening with a slinky atmospheric bass line reminiscent of some of Bassdbler’s work, “Begin Again” by New Candys quickly layers in and transforms into a moody downtempo shoegaze number not unlike the Stone Roses and in some ways The Cure. Once it locks into its central groove / sound it doesn’t really deviate, which for some songs would be a detriment, but here it works to keep the listener wrapped in a dreamy meditative head nodding, oversized sweater swaying mood.
