BBC introducing artist Candythief, aka anglo-euro songwriter Diana de Cabarrus, first emerged in association with Fence records. Drawing on alternative, acoustic, psych pop, indie influences with a touch of chanson, the songs are melody-driven, occasionally theatrical, hopping between styles, and coloured by unusual song-structures. She grew up bumping along pot-holed tracks in Europe’s only geographically-accurate desert, listening to a random and specific sub-set of psychedelia, Mozart & Americana, and some odd things in between.
On record and live, Candythief is refreshingly distinctive and unusual, supplying an invigoratingly vital alternative version of the female singer songwriter. Solo performances can include cello, guitar, bodhran and loops as well as vocals. She will be touring the current release around the UK and recording a fourth studio album in 2014.
