It ties together its visual and lyrical themes, which are carefully crafted with both hidden and subliminal messages.&nbsp;The artwork goes hand in hand with the music and the lyrics, which culls together&nbsp;religious, pagan and archetypal symbols, which have been distorted through the bands&#8217; own lens, including a New Candys-themed set of Tarot cards<em>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve started to sketch some songs for the record during a very tumultuous period for the band, with many line-up changes between the end of 2017 until mid 2018, but as soon as the new line-up formed, the excitement to create new music together was overwhelming, and helped the creative process immensely\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;says frontman Fernando Nuti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The record was written and recorded in different sessions, fragmented over two years from 2018 to 2020, in between tours.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThere was an urgency for us to evolve, to find a new chemistry and to convert it into something creatively fulfilling, something that could surprise us. The aim was to expand our sound into new territories, everyone in the band brought new ideas and influences to the table. We dived deeply into digital recording techniques, embracing them, using loops, real and virtual synths and drum machines, balancing them with the dirty analog sound the band always had\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Vyvyd\u2019 concentrates on vocal melodies, has more choruses and includes electronic elements that have significantly expanded their sonic palette making it more vast, rich and fuller than ever before.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe also looked for a danceable element this time, that\u2019s something we\u2019ve always loved and wanted to explore further\u201d.<\/em>&nbsp;In a way it shares similarities with their debut album, featuring contrasting moments from one extreme to another, with some eerie and penetrating but also intimate and melancholic songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album\u2019s visual and lyrical themes are carefully crafted with both hidden and subliminal messages.&nbsp;<em>\u201cOf course we\u2019re influenced by our own personal lives and the world around us, but we have always considered our music to be devoted and connected to visions and images, inspired by dreams and nightmares rather than reality, so \u2018Vyvyd\u2019 is a reference to this aspect. Vivid memories, vivid colors, sonically speaking our ideas and goals are clearer than ever\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/db4cfay5jt5m3.cloudfront.net\/usr\/3d031b83183d79b7caf345ede75c06ea\/img\/aa16f66f51daa6f2c0aa41db196864293f2514ef\" alt=\"New Candys Vyvyd album cove4 artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>Vyvyd\u2019&nbsp;track listing<\/strong><br>1.
