“Stephen Bishop runs the UK-based Opal Tapes, one of the most diverse and unpredictable imprints of the last decade. During that time Bishop has made a wealth of recordings under the name Basic House, but now he’s chosen a new moniker, Lacrima, for a new musical approach that recalls the glory days of harsh noise. On this second Lacrima release (following 2019’s Romance), he employs electronics, field recordings, and shortwave radio, creating cutting, metallic pieces that stab the ears. As cathartic as Candy is, though, it’s not just blunt dissonance. There’s much tonal variety throughout its pulsing tracks, as Bishop varies his speed and momentum to craft waves and crescendos.”
