March 11th will see the release of Candela, the new LP from the uniquely brilliant Mice Parade. Primarily the solo moniker of New Yorker Adam Pierce, Candela is loosely based upon a late-night bar in Madrid with a colourful history. Recorded in Pierce’s home studio, that has housed the likes of Animal Collective and Frightened Rabbit among others, Candela is another wondrous journey through the weird magic that dense and abstract pop music can take you.

GoldFlakePaint is beyond honoured to present the record’s first video to UK viewers, in the form of this captivating visual for This River Has A Tide. The video was directed by Paul Yates, who had this to say about it;

“The concept obviously came from the song,” Yates says. “When I first hear a song I can’t figure out all of the words I don’t understand where it’s going emotionally, and that really excites me. I try to use those impressions in my film.” Of his choice to cast a woman to evoke the meaning of the song, he says, “The music was ethereal, beautiful, delicately played and had interweaving streams of emotion — so I felt it need a feminine protagonist — but one from another realm. The title ‘This River Has a Tide’ is literally and metaphorically about subtext and undercurrent and water, which also fit my Woman From Another Realm’s journey.” 

Candela is released March 11th via FatCat Records.
