If the name Candy Kisses sounds cute, just wait until you hear the debut EP from this quartet from Indonesia’s Depok region. The backstory is delightfully classic: band visits show, mentions they have a band, label owner listens, session booked—boom.

The EP packs six songs of classic twee pop: friendly, modest, and full of urgency, like a band bursting to show you what they can do. The first four tracks are short and snappy, recorded in an initial session, while the final two—written and recorded immediately after—stretch out a bit more and hint at broader ambitions. Closer I’m Done With You in particular shows a band already thinking beyond the basics.

Candy Kisses are coming at you fast. CDr expected mid-January via Indonesia’s always-fun cookies.fun label.
