Concert Preview: Candy Claws at the Hi Dive

Candy Claws sounds like drinking absinthe in an inner tube on an alpine lake.



A show at the Hi Dive is the closest thing Denver offers to seeing a band inside a cave.

After albums based on forests and oceans, a caves album might be the next step for Candy Claws; may I suggest At the Edge of the World: Caves and Late Classic Maya Worldview.

Because their sound is somewhere between headphones dilettante and high country soundscape, I am worried that a performance at the Hi Dive might sound like the juice boosted blares of a five year old unleashed upon a Casio for the first time.

My hope is that after months of hard touring, they've reined in their sound and found a way to make it fit in the boxy interior of our countries Pabst friendly clubs.
