Singer songwriter Scott Candlish has just launched his third EP, 'A Little While, a Bit of Time' while he's been residing in the city of Edinburgh for the last two years.
After making the big move from his hometown of Melbourne to Scotland, the singer songwriter has been refining his alt-folk style with regular shows in the vibrant UK city. Earlier this year Candlish first went into the studio to make the record after writing and collaborating with local musicians.
While experimenting with new sounds, Candlish continues writing with a favoured blend of indie folk, fingerstyle and alternative rock that can now be heard in the new EP. The songs reflect upon both the challenges and rewards established in his time away from home with an output lending influence from favourites Bon Iver, Angus and Julia Stone and Ben Howard.
'Heartfelt harmonies, slick acoustics and great, gripping lyrics centred around his interesting life experiences and the natural fallout from those' Small Music Scene.
After a packed out launch show in Edinburgh, Candlish embarked on his first European tour that included dates in Manchester, Glasgow and a Sofar Sounds showcase in London and Paris. The tour also expanded his international reach with intimate shows in Berlin, Lyon, and Barcelona.
Leaving behind Melbourne's diverse and lively music scene was hard, but has since been an enriching and stimulating experience for Candlish.
In August 2018 Candlish was busy during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, heavily involved in the PBH Free Fringe events performing to and reaching a wider international audience.
Prior to his third record, he released 2 EP’s in ‘Elusive’ and ‘Home Away From Home’, both launched at Melbourne's Workers Club. His debut EP solidly identified his earlier rock influences while his sophomore record saw the embellishment of a more diverse instrumentation and embodied a new wave of folk influence.
‘Dulcet acoustic sing-alongs dripping with meloncholy’ – ‘Home Away From Home’ Tone Deaf Premiere.
After an explosive start to 2019, the latter end of the year will see a return to his home of Melbourne. Until then indie folk songwriter has busy months ahead with an inclusion at Butefest and another Fringe festival just around the corner.
