Darkly Obsessed So Sad

Glass Candy “The Possessed”

Ida No and Glass Candy fake vintage NYC new wave/disco so real, they are beyond fake. Like a great period drama, they get the important details just right but know exactly where to run with artistic license, so their songs don’t just end up sounding like a bunch of scrapped Blondie demos. “The Possessed” is one of the best they’ve ever done – thick with mood and drama, but with just enough of a wink to it to keep it fun and light. That bit of self-awareness doesn’t upend the tension, though – Ida can’t help but make everything she sings seem genuinely ultra-glamorous and romantic.
