Candy Shop Now Open
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Band Collaborators at 9:00pm on Thursday, Jan 29th, 2004Peter Griesar's latest album is now available. Candy Shop is the follow-up album to Griesar's excellent Superfastgo. In addition to the regular ordering process of actually having a CD, Griesar has made higher quality than normal MP3's available to purchase and download as well. Superfastgo featured some familiar names to DMB fans, namely Leroi Moore and Tim Reynolds guesting on some tracks. Candy Shop features Lauren Hoffman adding vocals to Empty Chair and Life Goes On. Besides being an extremely talented singer in her own right with 4 albums and an EP released, she is also the daughter of Ross Hoffman, who greatly helped Dave Matthews shape his music in the moments before there was a DMB. Candy Shop is 9 tracks, counting Let's Go (Find A Way), which perfectly mixes the first album track with Let's Go (with Nikki Simon lending backing vocals) and stands out as a great accomplishment in producing by John Morand (Hanson, Cracker, Sparklehorse) and Griesar. Candy Shop is different then Superfastgo, and plays as a more personal work. As always, Griesar's excellent songwriting skills - he has a Grammy for So Much To Say - stand out on Candy Shop.
