- jay phlitman & kim kang: candy queen speedway
(2012, 10"ep, belgium, bananafishin' records 002)
Last month, Jay Phlitman & Kim Kang released
“Candy Queen Speedway”, the follow-up to their excellent “Velvet Coma Hotel”
album from 2011.
Jay Phlitman and Kim Kang are also known as Jean-Marie Mievis and Kim
Duchateau. They are one of the few artists that keep searching for the
boundaries and that keep surprising their audience.
”Candy Queen Speedway”, my dear friends, is music from the other side of the fence. It’s lo-fi. It’s pop yet experimental. It’s absurd, and above all, it’s like something you have never heard before.
Singalong melodies, crazy lyrics, a minimalistic
approach,… I love it.
“Candy Queen Speedway” has been released as a 10” orange vinyl album in a limited, numbered edition of 275 copies and it features artwork by Sarah
Yu Zeebroek (of Hong Kong Dong fame).
Check it out.
The first 30 copies of the album included a silkscreen art print by Kim Duchateau.
