I’ve been fans of Wake Owl since I first discovered the Wild Country EP and have been eagerly anticipating an album of acoustic folk goodness. Much to our surprise, the first single off Wake Owl’s debut album, The Private World of Paradise (due out on March 4, 2014) is “Candy,” a soft disco track that leaves his hometown tracks in the dust. “Candy” is like an ABBA song on Quaaludes, sporting ample falsettos with a sedated beat and guitars working a slightly funky melody. Thanks to “Candy,” I now have no idea what to expect on Paradise, which will make the album that much sweeter.
