Candle band

There are certain albums that I listen to over and over, but for some reason I don’t mention on HearYa. Miles and Miles and Miles by San Luis Obispo band, Candle, are such a band. I find myself playing the album at work, while cleaning around the house, and often while relaxing with a cold one at the end of the day. Adjectives don’t jump into my mind as I listen, but it’s loose alt-country sound always greets me with a smile.

Miles and Miles and Miles isn’t an album that gives you that “Oh shit!” moment. There isn’t a standout track, but they put together a solid collection of tunes that serve as a nice soundtrack for a summer evening. If you read my review of The Sugar Oaks’ Red Grapes in the City, then you can almost swap out the band and album names. It’s perfect for lazy afternoons, ice cold drinks, hot days, warm sun rays on your face, burying your toes in the sand, and for easing your mind.

You’ll rarely find them in a Google search because they aren’t waxy enough, but click on the links below for tour dates. They are all over the place.

Oz, good description. I would say me favorite tune is Hotel Eyes. That one always sticks out when I listen to it.
