Candi Carpenter - Demonology
“‘Demonology’ isn’t just an album; it’s an exorcism. These songs gave my inner demons a void to scream into. Writing this project was cathartic for that part of me who will always be a midwestern pastor’s kid, trapped forever in a church basement fellowship hall. I’m grateful for “Demonology” because it helped me discover that I’m non-binary and autistic. I know myself better because of this music, and I hope these 12 tracks will help other people learn to love their demons the way that I have.”
Well this is a bit of a swerve… Candi Carpenter was previously a purveyor of country music, mixing traditional with modern, on her debut album, Demonology they’ve taken a dramatic turn off the country music freeway into pop. And not just any pop, the kind of edge-of-your-seat pop that the likes of CharliXCX and Olivia Rodriguez are making their own. With brutally frank lyrics, Demonology is a one of a kind album mixing Candi’s country sensibilities with modern pop’s sense of explosion and adventure.
