Today former Buenos Aireian turned Berlin dweller, Candelaria Saenz Valiente, aka PICTORIAL CANDI, drops her latest single “Anaemic Wishes” from her upcoming 4th LP.
The story behind “Anaemic Wishes”, an epic orchestral synth ballad that will take you to places including pondering questions like… “Has Berlin found their own version of Kate Bush?” is of a woman who lives to tell the tale after a bad trip.
“It was my 40th birthday. I made a big deal Salaam and rented out an indoor pool place with a giant jacuzzi. I was in Warsaw at the time. I was moving soon to Berlin and I wanted to pet my friends and myself, it was a goodbye party after 10 years. The expectation was huge. So I popped a lil thing and drank the dark liquids and too soon I was levitating over the jacuzzi while at the same time drowning in it. I was peeing all over myself, constantly and everywhere. But then I caught a glimmer of a sad look in a friend’s face and that triggered me to come down with such a speed, I really hit those all-time lows. And after that, for a while, all I could hope for was to be able to clutch onto my husband’s arm, even at night, in bed, while everything else, life, crumbled to nothing, only wasteland in the senseless horizon. Sound familiar? Not going back to that. Oh no! No, no no no no no. Thanks.
The lyrics for “Anaemic Wishes” detail that feeling. It’s a bossa kind of ballad. Was mixed by my dear friend, sensitive and talented young man Karolini.” (via Impose http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/chatter/week-in-pop-fijimacintosh-madam-west-a-beacon-school-fleau-emily-ritz-helene-barbier-pictorial-candi/2)
